saying this again....there was a real thing about the IBM PC and not allowing it to be included in "vintage computing" as well as a lot of the home computers, when this hobby first started. This view is still held by the original guard of vintage computerians. That's why classic cmp does not dwell long on the C-64, Amiga, Ataris, Apple, etc. Classic CMP is not the place to ask "hey can someone here help me fix my 1541 drive..." The original vintage computer festivals did not allow IBM PCs to be exhibited. Bill On Mon, Aug 16, 2021 at 1:26 PM Ethan O'Toole via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

PC hater. Can't deny that most of the computers in the world descended from the IBM PC up until ARM grabbed a lot of the embedded space.
