Computers Were Just the Beginning

Do you remember when the 1983 Time issue came out naming the PC as the Machine of the year? Of course you do, or you would not be traipsing around the internet reading these posts while you have a whole slew of CMS development projects to get done. Anywho, while you are here, I might as well entertain the notion that you are interested in what I have to say about the PC revolution that got part of its fuel from the Time article. In retrospect, what the 21-page Machine of the Year cover package captures isn’t the beginning of the PC so much as the end of the beginning. The industry still had room for a bevy of hobbyist-oriented, sometimes downright rudimentary computers from Apple, Atari, Commodore, Osborne, Radio Shack, Texas Instruments, Timex and others. None of them had futuristic features like a graphical user interface and a mouse; most ran their own operating systems and weren’t compatible with anything else on the market.
