Ah, but what was the first Microcomputer (including at least a monitor with
bitmap display, some sort of disk or floppy drive, as standard features,
and 'personal' in nature)?

Or what would your definition of Micocomputer be? I suppose we have to
establish that first. graphic monitor and floppy drive, with hard drive
optional, would seem a good start.
