  I don't think the term "pc" is too confusing.  Everyone has been using
  that term for years to refer to DOS/Intel based systems.  IBM has very
  little to do with it anymore.  The term "pc" is probably less confusing
  to most people than any other term.

  I'd like to see:

    comp.pc.hardware
    comp.pc.sound
    comp.pc.video
    comp.pc.drives
    comp.pc.misc
    etc.
