Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first personal computer widely available to the public was the Apple II, introduced in 1977 by Apple. While Intel and IBM played important roles in the development of computers and Microsoft would become a major player in the industry, they did not introduce the first widely available personal computer. Compaq was not founded until 1982, several years after the introduction of the Apple II.
