"... December 8, 2004. Apple Computer is still in the PC business. IBM isn't. Whoda thunk it? On August 12, 1981, IBM released their first personal computer, the "IBM PC." The "PC" stood for "personal computer" making IBM responsible for popularizing the term "PC." The first IBM PC ran on a 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 microprocessor and came with 16 kilobytes of memory, expandable to 256k. The IBM PC came with one or two 160k floppy disk drives and ran a brand new 16-bit operating system from Microsoft called MS-DOS 1.0. The price tag started at $1,565, which would be nearly $4,000 today..."I guess everyone will be buying Dell or Lenovo computers now... so sad. Or, you can all just switch over to my side???
