IBM was not the first PC

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on December 05, 2004 01:01 PM
The Apple 1 was released in 1976. OK it didn't do much, but the Apple II, released the following year, was a big success. The IBM PC was not released until 1981. And there were many PCs that came before both, like the Commodore VIC-20, the Commodore PET, the TRS-80, CP/M, Heathkits, and lots more . See http://www.pc-history.org/ for a short history. http://www.old-computers.com/news/default.asp is a great site with lots of information about old computers.
