:This is a small niche wiki for a niche hobby, we're not changing any societal definitions, or following an agenda one way or the other. "Computer" is used to clearly categorize emulators that everyone else refers to as computer emulators so they can quickly find what they're looking for, and know what the other systems under the category are for. --[[User:SonofUgly|SonofUgly]] ([[User talk:SonofUgly|talk]]) 15:38, 2 August 2014 (EDT)
→Assumption of "Computers" category?
: I also found this: http://curiosity.discovery.com/question/what-term-personal-computer "General operation by a single user." That tells us that the way most people think of it is not historically correct. You can research what IBM considered "PC" to mean, and how that has evolved and misled millions of people now who think "PC" constitutes form factor or don't even know what the hell it means ... just that they know it means whatever the "smarter" person tells them it means. This is why I feel that terminology matters more than bullet-biting and just using the "common" (and also wrongly believed) terminology for it.

::^^This, also dat autism. :/ -- [[User:Special|Special]]
All right, call me autistic. I guess tossing insults is what we've come down to here, so the intelligent discussion ends now.
