30 years ago this month the IBM PC debuted at $1565. Some say this began
the era of mass-computing and it is now what classiccmp.org
<cctalk at classiccmp.org> is all about! For those interested in the OS world
LINUX is 30 years old. Time has passed but this is what classic computing
is all about.
Happy computing.

Linux actually turns 30 in a couple months. In January, I?ll have used it for 30 years.

August 11, 1981, NOT 1991
It has been 40 years.
There were many of us who said that it was the END of the era. And that
in a few years, more that half of the personal computers would be PC, or
imitations thereof.
It has never been what classiccmp.org <cctalk at classiccmp.org> is all
about!

I recall attending a demo of the PC at IBM Toronto.? About 40 of us in
the room.? Notable was that the presenter chose slides with a light-pen
