The Micro Computer
The first computers made were big. Room size big.
They were also very expensive and pretty slow and you
had to be a specialist to program them. So the president
of IBM,
Thomas Watson, can be forgiven for his infamous quote from 1943:
I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.
mi·cro·com·put·er | \ ˈmī-krō-kəm-ˌpyü-tər
A micro computer is defined as a computer with a single central
processing unit (CPU) as a microprocessor.
