What Hacker News says?
Those terms come from the 70's when PC meant 6502, 6800, 6809, Z80 or other 8 (and later 16) bit small computer which was meant for a single user instead of the time sharing minis and mainframes. No wonder newer generations who missed the transition from minis and mainframes to personal computers find it very confusing.
