A computer, for the purposes of this site, is a multi-purpose electronic device which accepts input, processes the input, and yields output. In the early days of home computers, every new computer was essentially a completely new combination of hardware and software. Over time, home computers started to be released in lines of multiple models that ran compatible software. Later, software became the standard, and computers started to essentially become clones that run an OS. Today, the software is becoming to generic that it's even being able to run across multiple platforms and the actual hardware is irrelevant.
I used a couple 8-bit home computers in the 1980s, but my family's first computer was a Packard Bell 386 SX with MS-DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.0 with multimedia extensions.
