Wow! How truly interesting. Back then I guess one could call it a
personal/micro-computer -Simon 1949. This was early digital age where
mechanical devices ruled. Not my idea of a modern PC.
Nonetheless, the quiz gives more information than what is found in books on
the subject.
Happy computing - modern fashion!

By that definition the TRS-80 Color Computer is not a personal
computer (it could run OS-9)
Neither is the IBM 5150 'Personal Computer' as it could run Minix
