Neither are model numbers. Which came first, the Toshiba 1000 or the
1100? How about the Powerbook 100 or the 170? The IBM 5150 or the 5140?
The 1100 came first (reference: Bruce Faust, VCF 2.0.2).
The 5150 is obviously first since the 5140 was the PC Convertible circa
1986.
But I prefer it that way. It means that I might be
able to pay less for a
"first"....
Good thinking! Don't let it get out though. Shhh!
