A PC isn't a "real" computer?  You're beginning to sound like the old 
girlfriend who made fun of my MITS Altair.  The funny thing is that 
the Altair was probably as fast as the STAR-1Bs we had at work--or at 
least it seemed that way at the time.  Of course the MITS box lacked 
the memory and I/O of the 1Bs. OTOH, my MITS box 8080 was about the 
same speed as the PPU on a 6000-series system and had about the same 
memory.
