I do remember those ads but I did not know about the IBM Personal Computer distinction, to be honest. Thanks for the added context!

You're right. I should've said "the guy who argues swastika isn't just a nazi symbol", because that's essentially what you're saying
Ok yeah, sure. A couple of ads a random tech company ran are the same thing as the Nazi regime. Give me a break. It's an erroneous analogy and you know it.
You do know that Android and most modern gaming consoles support kb+m?
They support it but that's not what they were designed for. Don't be obtuse.
So it's okay to misuse words when you also misuse them, but not okay when you don't misuse them? What are you, a self-important hypocrite?
A) I'm not misuing anything B) You're starting to sound quite like a douche.
Source?
$70 for a macropad? You can buy an entire kb for that price.
or you end up becoming the guy who argues that drawing swastikas doesn’t make you a nazi because it’s a symbol of luck.
That's a very poor and far-fetched analogy.
good luck defining what a computer is
A computer that runs an OS designed to be used with kb+mouse. See? It wasn't that hard. Refusing to call a Windows computer a "PC" as if that were the only thing it could be doesn't mean that I'm obtuse. It just means that I refuse to abide by the rules set by a set of crappy, inaccurate ads a massive corporation ran like 13 years ago.
Save yourself the headache and use PC as you understand it while accepting that others have a different meaning for PC.
Thanks, but no. If you want to misuse the term, go ahead. I'm just as free to point out the incorrect use of the term if I want to.
Even if that were true, does that mean that we should all accept it and drink the Apple Kool-Aid? A PC was, is and will always be a Personal Computer.
If you want to eat up Apple's marketing then yeah.
In that case it would be a Windows laptop. PC stands for Personal Computer. It has nothing to do with the OS.
K. Keep using a service you hate then, I guess.
Afaik, business units are individual. Their products don't finance each other.
