     Definition of a micro-computer:  A microprossor based, all purpose
 computing tool.

     Atari 2600 does not fit this discription.  Now what exactly defines
 a different machine?  Could we count all of IBMs machines as one, or
 divide them by the models.  If we divide, then we would also have to
 divide the C64 from the sporty model Commodore came out with.  That
 would also mean we would have to divide the Amiga up a lot.  And the
 Mac.

     If we don't divide, could we call the C128 a "C64 compatible machine"?
 I assume we would seperate the Messy-DOS machines made by IBM from the
 clones.  If we count up all the IBM/XT/AT/PS2 machines that IBM made,
 it's quite possible they out number a C64s.

     Does anyone have any recent and reliable numbers?
