Canada is the birthplace of the telephone and cellphone. Now it has been recognized as the home of another invention — the first personal computer.

It never made a rich man of its inventor, Mers Kutt, who still works with computers and ekes out a living from his Toronto house.

But the MCM-70 Microcomputer, unveiled by Micro Computer Machines 30 years ago today and built at least four years before the Apple, has been recognized as the first of its kind in a recent issue of IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, a respected journal based in the United States.
