The Desktop computer was actually the first Personal Computer. Before that, there were large boxes called "mainframes," which took up many rooms and could hold at most 100 Kilobytes, which is about the same size as an avatar. The first Desktop Computer is arguably the Altair 8800, which was a large calculator read by adding up the number of lights on the box and using a complicated system of switches and math equations. However, the first desktop computer that looks most like the computers we use today is the Apple II, which ran simple programs such as Lotus 123, which was a program similar to Excel today. Keep in mind that there were no such things as computer mice, color screens or GUI (Graphical User Interface, aka an operating system such as windows, mac, or linux) back then.
