As someone who grew up in the era of PC clones, it's interesting to me to see so much of the interview focus on the IBM vs. Apple angle. Apple was a non-factor in the 90s and IBM didn't have a very strong presence in the consumer market, at least not more than Dell, Compaq, Gateway, etc.
- mixmastamyk 9y agoOther than the Commodore 64 that was entry level and about to crash, the winners of the first half of the 80s were IBM then Apple: https://arstechnica.com/features/2005/12/total-share/4/ https://arstechnica.com/features/2005/12/total-share/4/ (Scroll to bottom for graph.) The Amiga should have been a factor by ‘85, if there was parental supervision over there. ;)
