      XPost: comp.sys.cbm       From: rbernardo@iglou.com              In the article entitled, "Top 50 Inventions," p. 78, in the December 2005       issue of Popular Mechanics magazine, Commodore is mentioned for the year       1977 (the article lists the top invention for every year, starting from       1955). Subtitled "The Computer Age", the year 1977 has this line --               The Apple II, Commodore PET and Radio Shack's TRS-80        are introduced in 1977 -- four years before IBM, soon        to become synonymous with the term "PC," unveils its        Personal Computer.              Interestingly, the magazine chose to show a photo of the Apple II and not       of the Commodore PET and TRS-80.               Truly,        Robert Bernardo        Fresno Commodore User Group        http://videocam.net.au/fcug              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
