Wrong.  DEC offered 64-bit Alpha-based personal computers starting
around 1992 or 1993.  The Multia was one example.

Oddly enough, I've used the Multia as an example as to why Apple's techwasn't new. But it was a workstation. It ran NT, or something horrid,and you couldn't exactly walk into Best Buy or Futureshop and buy one...
