::::Well, as said Personnal Computer was coined when computers could be used (and even possessed) by 1 person...from 50's to mid 70's "computers" were super calculators with the side from a building to an autoBus.
Then the size of a car (like some modern servers...or "mini computers")...lol.
Micro Computers became Personnal because you could get a unit personally.
But in the 80's, the main difference was that PC became "Professionnal Computers" and those combined Keyboard+Mainboard+Drives became Home computers or Personnal Computers too (CPC...Colour PC).
So this page is PC in the sense IBM PC compatible, maybe we should rename it ?
Yet again in the late 80's, Professionnal Computers became also Personnal so Home computers thanks to Amstrad too. A friend of mine got an Olivetti combo CGA 8MHz PC, with merged central unit, 2 disc drives and Keyboard (like Amstrad plus or Amiga...or PC20). Many builders did some PC with this concept, yet most of them where only CGA with no sound card, and no Hard Disc drive...
Maybe with integrated EGA card and AdLib, those machines could have make it as real Home Computers.
