Nope. There were PCs before the IBM PC. The first PC was the Altair. The TRS-80 was the first affordable one and came out months before the IBM PC came out. Then there's the Commodore, Apple ][, Compaq luggable, etc, etc. Timex Sinclair, etc, etc.

There are dozens of brands/configurations called "PC"s.

However, PC means "Personal Computer". So saying a machine is "PC based" makes no sense.

It's not "Personal Computer based". It IS a Personal Computer.

It's like saying a Cadillac is car based. Or Creed is band based.

Isn't a PC any IBM-campatible computer?
