Editing List of early microcomputers (section)

==Complete microcomputers==
A number of complete microcomputers were offered even before kits became popular, dating to as far back as 1972. For some time there was a major market for assembled versions of the Altair 8800, a market that grew significantly through the late 1970s and into the early 1980s. The introduction of three computers aimed at personal users in 1977, the [[TRS-80|Radio Shack TRS-80]], [[Apple II]], and [[Commodore PET]], significantly changed the American microcomputer market and led to the [[home computer]] revolution.
