I very much agree with you that the term "x86", does not lend it nicely to
suit the description that we are looking for.  Further, as a previous poster
had pointed out its a little technical in nature, and it _could_ be obscure
to people, especially those who are new to the area of interest.

but, I somehow feel that just keeping "pc" instead of "ibm.pc" is too
generic, and can be very confusing to people.
