If you look at the new style case of the Commodore 64 then it has on the bottom right a label and it says "Personal Computer"

So is the Commodore 64 a "PC" ?
Its all American wording that every one else in the world thinks that the word "PC" means a Microsoft compatible computer.
And almost every one in the world does not think of the Amiga as a "PC" the word "PC" is exactly what it is a Personal Computer  a Commodore 64 is a Personal Computer so is a 48K ZX Spectrum it is the word "P" that makes it a "Personal" and "C" that makes it a "Computer"  So when will the Ignorant get that Idea into there Ignorant heads the word "PC" does not mean its Just and ONLY a Microsoft (Windows version) computer.

Or is this something else that the most people alter the true meaning of a word to suit them selvs because they just don`t know the differance?  or that it is more simple for them to understand.

Ok I shall now get ready for the flak.

But no matter how it is, the word "PC" is "Personal Computer"  and now how most of the world now see`s the word.
