[X4U] "Who makes the best personal computers?" vote at Forbes

[Paul Moortgat]

IBM named their computers "PC", but computers where around then for a  
longer time.  It's like telling people you've the first LADA, but  
before that time, there where other cars.  A PC is a computer, but a  
computer is not a PC.
