Spencer spoke about [X4U] "Who makes the best personal computers?" vote at Forb thusly: ><http://www.forbes.com/technology/2005/02/11/cx_jp_0211polldujour.html> says that IBM introduced the personal computer in 1981. Gee. I guess my memory of owning an Apple II and then a Lisa in the 1970's is all wrong. IBM 'introducing' the personal computer is a product of the magnificent spin machine in Renton. Jobs can lay claim to the reality distortion spell, to be sure. But MS takes the cake for marketing rip-offs, inferior at that, as innovation. --
