Now, maybe, but I think HP had PCs before IBM invented the term.
I used a 2647A with two tape drives, which could act as a terminal to the
HP3000 and which also ran standalone using BASIC. I used graphics
software, loaded from the internal tape drive, to drive a plotter and
graphics printer.  We used HP125s with Visicalc and word processing
software standalone, and also used them as terminals to the HP3000,
before IBM announced their first PC.
