,----[ Quote ]
| This year marks an almost forgotten 40th anniversary: the conception of the
| device that ultimately became the PC. And no, it did not happen in
| California.

|
| Its use of a recently developed 40-pin package meant that fewer support chips
| were required to multiplex the output. Its descendants formed the x86
| dynasty, especially after the 8088 was used in the first IBM PC in 1981.
|
| Therefore, any PC in use today can trace its ancestry to the Datapoint 2200.
