Yeah - the *personal* aspect of the personal-computer revolution is the
most noted, and rightly so, but it's important to remember that it was
also how computing went from Big Business to small business, and,
funnily enough, became Big Business in the process. Lotta independent
software shops came outta some hobbyist spotting an unfilled niche and
cobbling something together to fill it, in those days - I still work
for the remnants of one.
