The IBM PC and its clones are responsible for the first mass extinction in the personal computer arena. Their proliferation spelled doom to a vast array of different and interesting architectures and resulted in the dullness of the current PC.

It's tragic the same brand used by excellent and original personal computers like the PET, VIC-20, C-64 and Amiga is now glued to x86 computers that still have some form of an ISA bus inside its chipset and whose processor still wakes up thinking it's an 8088 inside a IBM 5150 PC.
