I did not define the term PC. I was not the authority. Bu now you are?
Everybody. Even you. Knew Exactly what was being referred to. Don't pull that bull "I didn't understand the semantics of the discussion" crap. Moving the goalposts as usual.
Was the Apple ][ a PC?
Yes. Can you use to to work with a raspberry PI via it's USB connection? No.
By your narrow definition it was not until nit become popular and widely used.
I must have missed the part where I provided this definition.
So you are saying a CPU type was not used widely would disqualify a device from being a PC?
No. I'm saying a CPU type would disqualify a device from being a modern PC. modern was implied. When somebody, nowadays, says "should I buy a PC" we know they are talking about a Wintel machine (or possibly a Macintosh). Nobody suggests they buy a Commodore or an Amiga, because those aren't the first things that come to mind. Same for a lot of other stuff.
Well, carrying that form of reasoning further
You're reasoning, by the way. You're extrapolating nonsense from my post for the sole purpose of arguing against it.
It looks like a duck.
It walks like a duck.
It talks like a duck.
Is it a duck?
And now you're talking about ducks? To answer the question, it might be, but it might also be an American Coot, which is another bird often mistaken for a duck, for the very reasons that it looks like a duck and walks like a duck. I can't say it talks like a duck, mostly since birds, and most fowl in general, don't speak. Unless you're crazy...
Also, you say that something that is less powerful that PCs used ten years ago is not a PC?
No. I didn't say that.
Raspberry Pi will have more computing power that many popular PCs used ten years ago. But why should that even natter? PCs made even 25 years ago are still being used somewhere and still do what they used to do.
yes, good for Raspberry PI.
But again, it's
useless unless you already have a desktop/laptop machine. Nobody can go "well, as a low cost alternative to buying a full blown PC, I'll just buy a raspberry PI" because you
need to connect it to a modern PC (Note my qualifier, to prevent you doing what you do best and extrapolating irrelevant nonsense to argue on for several paragraphs), to get it into a usable state. And if you already have a PC, what does this device offer above that? Sure, it has several features, could be used as a media thinga majig, for example, but it won't replace the standard PC for anybody because you need to have one in the first place. That was my point you so embarassingly decided to ignore in lieu of attaching to a single technicality and fabricating an extrapolation to argue against.
