Yea, but the sign in the college library when I was going to college in the mid-80s said Personal Computers and pointed the way. There was 5 IBM PCs, 6 Apple IIe's and 2 Commodore 64's there at the time. Eventually they added a couple of 512K Macs.
I've been arguing with people for years when they call a Wintel PC just a PC...
