Surprisingly, perhaps, I have no (what I call) "formal" experience in the microcomputer world. However, I bought my first microcomputer in 1982 — a Zenith/Heathkit Z90 — after IBM unveiled the "PC" (or, Personal Computer) to the world and, since then, I've broadened my own horizons by exploring programming on the personal level, i.e., at home and for myself. From there, I've even sold and installed a custom-built application at a client site. The table below will give you a glimpse into where my explorations have taken me.
Hint: Don't forget what a "PC" is — a personal computer. Don't try to make it into a corporate-wide computing solution unless you (#1) get all the facts, (#2) know exactly what the company needs, (#3) know exactly where the company is going, and (#4) have absolutely no doubts that the "PC" will be able to take the company there with the minimum amount of trouble as compared to all other possible solutions. Nine times out of ten, the PC will not be the corporate-wide answer that many people make it out to be; however, this does not mean that the entire corporation will not benefit from a "PC on every desk" scenario. It will just not be the total computing solution for the corporation.
