Accept the fact that there is no "first" anything, and no distinct
line as to what a personal/home computer is. Whatever claim is made
can generally be shot down using various points of view and
conditions.
I bet somewhere, some rich engineer back around 1960 ordered a G-15
for home use. Drove to the Bendix/CDC office with a big check in hand,
and convinced the salesmen to sell him a machine off the assembly
line. And after it was installed, and after his first Hello World
program, he loaded tic-tac-toe.
Weirder things have happened.
