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?


I think the technical term is Personal computer or just "PC", often pronounced "Pea Sea".

-Edit- Karlos beat me to it :-D

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


The Amiga was a "Home Computer"
