My experience with PC's was as follows:

In high school in 1977, we used the Tandy computers and used BASIC language. My friend's dad was responsible for this. At his house, we played Atari video games on a 7' screen. It was epic!

In early college, we programmed IBM PC's using Basic.

In late college, we programmed using punch cards to a mainframe, which was backwards.

In 1986, I ordered my first business PC and hired my first programmer. My friend's dad taught them to program. The computer was an 80286 if that. Then we had a 2nd unit, and networked. By 1992 everyone had a PC.

I didn't order my first Apple unit until 1996, and then it was an Apple clone. We used it for desktop publishing and the graphics department, which kept expanding.

Apple was for graphics, and PC's were for business.
