I don't know.
Back in the old days, everyone understood what "[IBM] PC compatible" meant. PC meant something specific, not just a generic "personal computer", see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PC_compatible https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PC_compatible.
- actionfromafar 3y agoBack in the even older days, PC meant "Personal Computer" but quite soon after that it meant "IBM PC" (or compatible).
- the_af 3y agoTo be honest I didn't live through that "even older days" era. I went straight from a Commodore 64 to a PC XT clone, and by then (the 80s) "PC" meant "IBM PC" to everyone I spoke to.
