ITYM "arstechnica" (note second C) ;)
I wonder where they got the tidbit that IBM was planning to rebadge the
Atari 800 as their "personal computer" originally. Is that true??
I'm happy to see a history, even a relatively vapid (though it seems
quite factual) one, that still acknowledges Atari and Commodore. Despite
being a Mac user now, with some of the retrospectives out there you'd
figure that IBM and Apple were the only companies that *ever* made computers.
The sales graphs are fascinating and I'm personally pleased to see how
much of that during the 80s was the C64. :)
