The 5150 (PC) came out in August 1981.
Could ANYBODY, ANYWHERE, believe that a unit from the third year
of production is THE OLDEST?????????
I assume that they are so lacking in context that they aren't even
considering machines other than IBM?
From The
Register: "Intel and HP find oldest working PC"
(http://www.theregister.com/content/67/34933.html)
"Dutch company PHI DATA yesterday received a
and Dutch IT weekly Computable for still owning and operating a vintage IBM
5160 (Intel 8088) computer from 1983. PHI Data uses the IBM to test matrix
printers. It is now officialy the oldest obsolete-yet-active PC in the Low
Countries."
