International Business Machines introduced the IBM PC in 1982, however there were home type minicomputers that proceeded it. The Apple II was introduced in 1978. The Radio Shack (Tandy) TRS-80 also in 1978-79. The self contained Osborne was also introduced in 1979. At the same time as the IBM PC XT was introduced so was the Amiga and the Commodore 64 which was popular in Europe. These are but a few of the examples of home computers available in the early 1980's.
