 So what makes a computer personal to me?
   *A **PC** is yours to own, [[permacomputing|intended to last forever]], or as long as the hardware can survive.
-  *You can study every bit of the code that makes it run.
+  *You can study every [[operating_system|bit of the code that makes it run.]]
   *You can program it yourself without much effort.
   *One person can understand how it works without any special knowledge other than math and logic, by this I mean not just the [[CPU]] but everything else. Microcomputers of the 80s come to mind. Modern "PC"s don't fit this criteria because they use extremely complicated design models.
