No, I was referring to your comment of the TRS-80 M1 being the "first
personal computer". We won't argue about the definition of "personal
computer", but for the sake of this discussion, the Apple ][ and Commodore
PET were both introduced in April 1977 at the first West Coast Computer
Faire. The TRS-80 M1 was introduced in August of 1977.
Really? I stand corrected then. I always assumed the TRS-80 came out before
the A2 and the PET. And I should have specified first commercially sold
ready-to-use personal computer. And I might have been wrong even with that.
Would you believe first computer I ever saw for sale? :)
