Set of computing platforms that are characterized for being powerfull, multi-use, customizable, personal (as in not restricted by any company or goverment) and flexible. Examples of PC`
s are the Atari, Commodore, Amiga, RISCPC (all of these long deceased) and recently Apple and
IBM (
Dell,
HP and others where making computers with the
IBM platform but recently dropped this platform in favor of a new Micro$oft made one which is too restricted and unflexible and doesn`t count as a PC platform).
Dude 1: I`m trying to watch this Pirates of the Caribean
movie I got off aMule, but my
HP turns itself off whenever I launch the media player.
Dude 2: That`s becuase you`re using a M$C. That thing was programmed to
obey the gov and disobey you, do as I did and get yourself a PC.
Dude 1: from whom.
Dude 2: I recommend Apple. There`s System76 and
Dell, but System76 doesn`t make international delivery, so they`re not an option if you live anywhere out of
US, and with
Dell they do international delivery but telling the few PC`s they make from the M$C`s can be tough, Apple do only PC`s and they do international delivery, plus they have dealers in most countries.
