At that time there was one personal computer company, they had one model, and they lived in a garage. But my first advice is, if you want a personal computer, don't wait for them to be perfected. Modern computers are so powerful and inexpensive, it is becoming hard to justify not owning one. This is exactly backwards. The Computer A computer is different from other machines because it needs a program to tell it what to do.
Some companies make computers, while others write computer programs.
This means if a certain kind of computer becomes popular, more programs will be written for it, and this will make the machine even more popular, in a snowball effect. Eventually one kind of computer becomes a standard, which means more programs are written at lower cost, and many companies compete to make the best, least expensive version of that computer. In fact, the new models of this computer are so inexpensive that IBM doesn't build it any more. On the other hand, many Macintosh owners find it easier to learn and use than the ISA machines. So in this article I will focus my attention on ISA machines.
