Yes, that's true, but, the 4MHz+ (4.9152 MHz,
actually) Z-80B with 64K of
RAM, a 24x80-charcter display, double-density diskette interface that
actually worked, built-in capability to install a hard disk, AND the
ability
to run CP/M right out of the box, in 1978-1979 e.g. at
the fall '78
COMDEX,
which was BEFORE there were "Over 10,000 programs
written for the Apple"
Would be a good argument but; Comdex did not exist
1978. There was The
West Coast Computer Faire (San Jose, CA), or NCC show (Anaheim, CA I believe
in 79) mostly heavy iron.

And lets not forget "PerComp" the Personal Computer show where Bill Gates
offered me a job in 1978 to port BASIC to the Digital group system and I
turned him down ...
