Probably the first personal computer was DEC PDP8. This was marketed the late sixties through adverts in Scientific American. These showed a plush Californian interior, with a single rack mounted PDP8 on the large dining table with a basic monitor and was clearly aimed at wealthy professionals for home use.

I always considered the 90s the golden age of computers thanks in part to the internet. But I do remember owning a Commodore Vic 20. That's all my parents could afford. Commodore was smart in taking on that market for the working class sector.

The 80's was the golden age, by the beginning of the 90's all independent manufacturers of computers were losing sales to IBM compatibles running on MS DOS and by the end of the 90's they would all be defunct except for Apple since IBM compatibles running on MS Windows now ruled the roost. Acorn, Amstrad, Atari, Commodore, Sinclair, etc were all dead or dying by 1990.

Is this a joke. Never heard of Kenbak or Scamp in the US. I subscribed to about 10 microcomputer magazines back in the mid-70's. Back then I knew of Imsai, Micro 8, Altair, RGS Electtonics, Sinclair, etc. and, of course, eventually Digital Group, Apple, Radio Shack TRS-80, and many others. However, no Kenbak or Scamp. Were these popular in Europe?

This video has the dates wrong. I had my first mobile phone in 1985. It had a large sealed lead acid battery which you carried in one hand and the handset was connected by a curly lead which you held in the other to make a call. When you weren't calling, the handset was seated on top of the battery. It was made by Ericsson. I had a car kit for it so it could be mounted in my car and connected to an aerial on the car's roof. Coverage was appalling. If you drove down the M1 you could only get coverage as you passed the largest cities. It cost the company I worked for £1,500-which is £6,300 in today's money!

Prior to the Altair were a few computers based on the Intel 8008 CPU. My first computer was an IMSAI 8080, which was a better quality clone of the Altair 8800. Prior to getting my IMSAI, in Nov. 1976, I used to maintain some Datapoint 2200s, which could also be considered a personal computer. It used the 8008 instruction set, but was built with a custom CPU board, as the 8008 didn't have adequate performance.

It's amazing how 90% of what we do daily could be accomplished with those 30 lb suitcase sized PCs except now we do them with wafer thin ubiquitous tablets and small laptops that weigh a pound and a half. The reduction in materials usage is mind-boggling. Where will it all go in another 40 years? The $700 that I spent for in Osborne in 1983 is worth about $2100 today. Whatever possessed me to buy one back then? But in 83, and with what I was able to do with it at the office so impressed the bosses that it probably kept me employed for another 15 years. -:) Recently, I burned out what was probably my fifth laptop in 40 years. Things are changing so fast now that I decided to break everything up into components and switch to the model of the mini PCS, with separate peripheral keyboards, displays and storage. That way I can just replace the mini PC CPU every couple of years for $120 to $150 when they go on sale and cheaply have the newest cheapest processor. Fast external 6T SSD drives for $125? Simple daily writing can be drafted on an ultra portable tablet with an optional wireless keyboard. The other major trend is away from purchasing a software permanently versus operating software as a subscription service. Since I am retired, I finally ditched Microsoft and went with Linux full time. I've used Linux on and off for many years, but can no longer wrap my head around operating software and key application software as a subscription service. There is too much of a danger and being unable to afford the renewal fees, thus losing all of your work product in a proprietary vendor format. Now everything can be drafted in simple low level formats like Markdown that is never going away and then ported over to a higher level WYSIWYG word processor like Word or Tex for final publication when needed. I have to laugh at companies trying to sell me a monthly subscription grammar checker that are no better than the Grammatik package that was included in the Wordperfect Suite in 1985. With the right prompt, free ChatGPT is the best grammar checker ever!

I would like to know more about that Kenbak-1, I have heard the name before but further nothing much. There is a discussion about who was the first "Personal" Computer. In fact it was IBM because they simply named their computer "Personal Computer" and for them it was a personal computer, seen from the point of view that up till that moment in time, all IBM computers were for a group of users. The IBM PC was only in name a personal computer, it was a rip-off of the Apple II computer, that was also "personal", it had slots and was expandable and it was not meant for working in groups, just like the IBM PC. Nobody calls the Apple II a personal computer because it was obvious a computer for personal use.

@Firstsoftheworld 4 ай бұрын

Hi Vanhetgoor, The Kenbak-1 was the first micro computer and was released in 1971 is considered as the world's first personal computer, and only around 40 machines were ever built and sold, however Apple II in 1977, is widely regarded as the first personal computer thanks to its mass-market success. IBM PC 1981, set the standard for modern personal computers and is considered the progenitor of today's desktop PCs. Their commercial success and technical features are directly proportional to their recognition. IBM was so successful compared to the Kenbak-1 that it was recognised as the first personal computer and became synonymous with the definition of personal computer.

@@Firstsoftheworld The Kenbak-1 was technically a "minicomputer". A "microcomputer" explicitly requires a microprocessor CPU. "The machine didn't have a one-chip CPU but was instead based purely on small-scale integration TTL chips." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenbak-1 If you're going to count TTL based minicomputers designed specifically for individual users, the Olivetti Programma 101 was released in 1965.
