2/ Although sources differ about which shipped first, I find that argument meaningless in the light of history. It all happened within a matter of months in 1977. — PolitiTweet.org

1/ Here’s my answer to my quiz about the first non-kit, pre-assembled, mass-market personal computer. As some have already noted, it was essentially a three way tie in 1977 between the Apple II, the Radio Shack TRS-80, and the Commodore PET. Some have dubbed them “The Trinity”. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ I think of 1977 as the year the personal computing revolution began. It led to everything else in the personal tech space, including the Web and the smartphone, in an incredibly compressed time period, just 42 years. — PolitiTweet.org
