Can someone Please give me a name!

What do you call that platform? Not IBM, not even really IBM compatible.  Not a Windows or Microsoft box, it runs Linux as well.  Not an Intel box, because it might be AMD or something else. X86?  Now we have P3, P4, and the new 64 bit which really do not follow the X86 sequence at all.  So what do you call all of IBM's microcomputer descendants and spinoffs?

Hey "Weebles wooble but they don't fall down!" Do these computer systems qualify?

The one word 'Amiga' carries a world of meaning which encompasses all of its variants regardless of manufacturer and version of OS.  I need something for the Intel-AMD-AT-XT-Athlon-Windows-DOS-X86-P4-etc line of computers.

Once again I am guilty of being too literal.  I thought the Amiga was a personal computer. :-)

The Amiga was a "Home Computer"

You win. PC it is!
