In 1981, the IBM PC 5150 was created. It was the first IBM “Personal Computer” (PC) ever created. This isn’t to say that PC’s didn’t exist before this, but in IBM-terms this really is the first PC. People think that the 5150 is far too slow to do anything now adays, but that simply is not true. It has the capability to run videos in color with sound!
