I'm writing another parody and I need to do some fact-checking. Does anyone have a link to a site that's got a sort of "timeline" history with relevant facts relating to the development of personal computers as we know them today? For instance, I'm looking for a timeline with the following information:

- Date the IBM PC was released.
- Name of CPU that was used in the first IBM PC and its speed.
- Amount of RAM on the first IBM PC.
- Date the Apple Lisa was released.

Etc., that sort of thing. Anyone have a good link?

It had an Intel 8088 processor (the 8-bit wide version of the 8086). ISTR that it ran at 4.7MHz.

"A fully equipped IBM Personal Computer, with 64 Kbytes of memory and a floppy disk, cost $2880"

"The IBM Personal Computer was given its press launch in New York on 12 August [1981]"

Both quotes from ISBN 0-465-02989-2

I found the following links, too:
