The MAC-16 is not a microcomptuter, whatever its size
[edit]The MAC-16 was a minicomputer, not a microcomputeras stated on the main page blurb. It fails this definition on two grounds: First, the original microcomputers were all eight bit machines, which minicomputers were 16 bit machines. Second, a microcomputer is controlled by a microprocessor chip, which was not invented when these machines were designed. 68.4.106.252 (talk) 09:34, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
- Indeed, and I'm pretty sure I typed "mini". I think this was an autocorrect! 108.168.95.104 (talk) 14:11, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
