<O gods of uucp, be gentle with the following doubtlessly futile missive...>

I wish to object most emphatically to the use of the acronym PC to refer to the
IBM Personal Computer. To do so is to abet International BM in yet another image
scam, namely to help them to cement the association of "personal computer" and
"IBM" that currently exists for mainframes in many minds.

My CoCo, Imogene, is a personal computer too, dagnabit!!!
