In the last lecture we looked at the world-wide activities aiming at designing inexpensive microprocessor-based computers for personal use and ownership. The companies such as the canadian mcm, french r2e, and american. Scelbi were among the rst rms to announce and manufacture such com- puters. While these early microcomputer manufacturers were able to attract small and medium-sized businesses, corporations, agencies, and educational insti- tutions, they were unable to attract the general public to their products (to both, computers and software). This movement is referred to as computer hobby movement.
