Growth and development Īpple II, TRS-80 and Commodore PET were first generation personal home computers launched in 1977, which were aimed at the consumer market – rather than businessmen or computer hobbyists. These were generally expensive specialized computers sold for business or scientific uses. The IBM 5100 in 1975 had a small CRT display and could be programmed in BASIC and APL. The Wang 2200 of 1973 had a full-size cathode-ray tube (CRT) and cassette tape storage. The HP 9800 series, which started out as programmable calculators in 1971 but was programmable in BASIC by 1972, used a smaller version of a minicomputer design based on ROM memory and had small one-line LED alphanumeric displays and displayed graphics with a plotter. 1970 saw the introduction of the Datapoint 2200, a "smart" computer terminal complete with keyboard and monitor, was designed to connect with a mainframe computer but that didn't stop owners from using its built-in computational abilities as a stand-alone desktop computer.
