Happy Birthday! PC turns 25.
We celebrate the 25th anniversary of this remarkable device - that has changed the world and the way we function more than any other invention in the history of technology.The very first PC from IBM was introduced in 1981. A Intel 8088 processor running at 4.77 MHz. 16 K RAM. With green 12" CRT and having one or two 170K 5¼" full height floppy drives, no hard drive.The price tag started at $1,565 , which at current rate of inflation would be nearly $4,000 (about Rs 1,85,000) today. Imagine the rate of development of the technology!! Less than four months after IBM introduced the PC, Time Magazine named the computer "man of the year".
