Aristophanes 



    Long ago, two years ago, I came across a book
"ERUDIT", published by the publishing house "Asar" in Minsk.
Leafing through section by section, I quietly reached
the next section "Computer surprise" ... And what do you think I
see? You would not guess. No, the dog of course
You can, but for me it was a pleasant surprise. For fear that 
the following facts remain nedoizvestnymi, I hasten to the 
publication. 


    The point is the following. Glancing general view of this 
book chapter I was expecting to see something quite different, 
but it's not that I have transgressed all ghost of doubt. But 
everything is in order. Yes, we should say that material must 
be regarded with a correction for several years. 


    Here is a reprint of section (page 123):


    "According to current opinion of experts, the best in the 
world PCs are made by "Commodore". Ona was

Founded in 1960 in the U.S. city of Westchester (Westchester), 
Pennsylvania. This company constantly strives to be first set 
up an electronic information technology, using the most

producing the world's first personal computer PET 2001 (house

    That's right, no more and no less! What? And it says some
Minsk publisher. No, I'm against the Minsk publishing anything
I do not know and just admire the fact that in this book, or 
where no reference ibm, intel, 8080, etc and it is in the 
Russian language publishing, an area that completely lined with 
colored cash registers! Strange, but the only mention of

PC, I found only in this short article and all!
