This document is an attempt to bring various published sources together to present a timeline about Personal Computers.

This web document is a sneak peek at a book project of mine. Since 1994, I have browsed over 1000 sources for date information related to personal computers. This brief summary includes many of the essential happenings that shaped the industry. The full text contains close to 3000 entries. I have tried to keep it open-minded and unbiased, but the annoying fact is that "the winners write the history books".

References are numbered in [brackets], which can be found at the end of this document. A number after the dot gives the page in the source.
