IBM Personal Computers never had a real name other than IBM Personal
computers.`
Note that most people refer to PS/1s, PS/2s, and AT as PS/1s, PS/2s, and ATs.
PC stuck around only out of habit.  With the exception of the Apple I (which
wasn't actually called that until the Apple II came out), Apple has
always given
their computers an explicit name.  IBM has always given their computers numbers
(5130, etc.).
