definition of personal computer

Personal computer: Any computer owned by a single individual rather than a corporation or government entity. Alternately any computer with a low enough aquisition and operation cost to BE owned by an individual. This fits this group best, since especially the mini and mainframe collectors have such animals as their "personal computers". The semantics become simple. "What is this cray 1 you have in the basement?" "It's my personal computer." The fact that they're also supers, mainframes, minis, or micros becomes irrelivant. :) -- Jim Strickland jim(a)DIESPAMMERSCUMcalico.litterbox.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Vote Meadocrat!
