Funny, as I recall it, most of the computer industry was using the
term PC to refer to any microprocessor based computer designed for
a single user (like Apple IIs or 8080 based CP/M systems) years
before IBM used the term in conjunction with it's home computer.
It seems to me that prior to the introduction of the IBM PC it
had a much broader definition than it does today.
