Personal computer
<computer> (PC) A general-purpose single-user
microcomputer designed to be operated by one person at a time.
This term and the concept has been successfully hijacked by
IBM due to the huge market share of the
IBM PC, despite its many obvious weaknesses when compared to other equally valid claimants to the term, e.g. the Acorn {Archimedes}, Amiga, Atari, Macintosh.
