Default PC World's usual lack of accuracy

This list is so arbitrary it makes me sick. Aside from the earlier noted US-bent (come on, no Amiga?!?! - affordable video editing anyone? 3D graphics to the masses anyone?), their details are incorrect. Just one example would be stating that the Commodore 64 was "was the first PC with an integrated sound synthesizer chip"! Check your sources before you publish, you dolts. The Atari 400/800 line was released two years earlier than the C64 and contained a better sound synthesizer.

PC World is the Jayson Blair of tech journalism. Use any information (accurate or not) to make your story (however insignificant) sound more authentic.
