My read in 2008 about "the first personal computer" is on the Web link below. Not to argue about it, but as an example of how there's no single answer to most vintage computer general questions. And I'll offer a quiz question and answer too. https://www.retrotechnology.com/herbs_stuff/altair_first.html I leaned on the "Altair is first" and also I dialog with someone's "first" Web page on another site. Their page is well researched and comes up with interesting candidates. http://www.blinkenlights.com/pc.shtml Let's be clear: there's no "first personal computer". There are candidates over time where some number of individuals *could* own some programmable device. Or: there's firsts when you qualify some target product, as in "first to offer X Y Z". A particular qualification is quantity produced. That suggests, that personal computing is a generational experience. Generations of hardware & software, generations of people, and of course different nations and cultures than the United States. There's 50 years of microprocessors now; but computers were made by other means too. So a lot of questions about vintage computing, depend on your own vintage. If this is about personal history, that's no surprise, is it? My impression is that Bob is covering the generational differences by not insisting on one correct answer for some questions. His apparent point is to inform, amuse, and puzzle - not score the most points or to indoctrinate about what's right. Here's a candidate question. "What personal computing product was first to include a complete set of personal-use software on a complete system?" A familiar answer is, the Osborne 1 computer. Adam Osborne bundled (that's the term I think was used) CP/M, BASIC, a spreadsheet, a word processor, I think a terminal/modem program, and later a database. The computer included a monitor and keyboard and floppy drives; in fact it was a luggable computer (as in luggage). At $1795 in 1981, it helped to establish a near-$2000 price for a bundled personal computer system which lasted into the 1990's or so. There's earlier computers that had some base software & hardware included, just fewer packages or less peripherals or extra-cost. Kaypro offered a similar product not long after the Osborne 1. But even today, Microsoft Office is still a very similar set of programs to the Osborne bundle. regards Herb -- Herbert R.
