[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 909559, member: 56379"] This is definitely the way I feel as well. A "PC" is a "Personal Computer" vs. a "Server Computer" vs. a "Mainframe Computer." Yes the term "PC" has sort of been forever linked with Windows based computers...but then that's just advertising "lingo". Windows computers are "PC's"...and Macintosh computers are "PC's"...PC stands for "personal computer". What other term would you collectively call the "electronics boxes" we have on or under our desks?...or carry with us in our backpacks??;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
