The first desktop computer was made of transistors just like present day computers. It came in the form of a kit from Altar. You had to put it together yourself. It used the CP/M operating system. That was an all purpose operating system. It was designed to work with various media. It could work with punched tape which operated the looms of the 19th century, punched cards, keyboards, tape drives, TV sets, and a lot of other stuff. While it was a good computer, most people could not use it. It did not have the programs. Steve Jobs created the Apple Computer, which was a game machine at first. Then Adam Osborne came out with a Personal Computer that had software that could be used in an office environment. It had a word processor, a spread sheet, and a data base. IBM soon replaced it. The IBM set the standard for the desktop computer we have today.
