The PC At 20
from the it's-all-growns-up dept
PC World takes a look at the 20th anniversary of the first IBM PC and points out some of the key moments in the rise of the PC over the past 20 years. I'm just waiting for one of the Techdirt-reading Apple fans to make some sort of snide comment. Either that, or maybe one of those reliable Linux fans complaining that the article talks too much about Microsoft. Oh well. For those who aren't looking to spout off about their causes, it's still an interesting look at the history of the PC.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
