What I meant by personal computer was computers mass

home (coming from the industry)?
The Pet and the Apple II were advertisted from the beginning of
1977 on as home systems. Few units went there for quite a while,
so the TRS-80 (later called Model One) was the first in quantity.
Then again, I had a Digicomp I, the first "toy" computer. It was
definitely not aimed at the business market back in the mid 19660's.
