                                            You forget:  An MS-DOS machine
  and an IBM PC clone are two different machines.  MSDOS is the dos that
  most PC's run.  A IBM PC can run many different op-sys.  

  To me, the title "PC WORLD" refers to the ibm "PC" and its clones, not
  every personnal computer in the world.  If they wanted every personnal 
  computer instead of just the "PC", then they could have called their
  mag "MICRO-COMPUTER WORLD."   

  Think about it before you say or do or post.
