[cctalk] Re: Experience using an Altair 8800 ("Personal computer" from 70s)

I quite agree. I do believe that a *u*P is the minimum that can be accepted to call a PC a microcomputer. Another is that it must be usable, i.e., non-programmable, for the average PC owner. Like a car one doesn't need to know how it works in order to drive/use a car to get from one place to another. One can use a computer to solve a spreadsheet problem in an efficient manner without learning the inner-workings of such spreadsheet. Happy computing, Murray 🙂 On Fri, May 31, 2024 at 6:02 PM Dave Dunfield via cctalk < cctalk(a)classiccmp.org&gt; wrote:
