PC means Personal Computer, no one can't change it and it's for all the computers.
I'm not petitioning to change the official meaning of PC. I'm saying it's kind of irritating when someone asks another "PC" user how to remove a virus from Windows XP, while the "PC" user runs Debian and hasn't touched or thought about using windows in years. Everyday users assume "PC's" are Windows computers, most people here may even assume the same thing.
So, if we had a PC user group, I propose we make it customizable, say by allowing the user to type the os they use into a field, save it, then apply it to their profile.
Simple as PC "Ubuntu" User or PC "Windows Vista" User. Quotes optional.
"PC User" is too broad. That's like having "Sega User" or "Nintendo User", not everyone loves every console by Sega or Nintendo, but may just only like the Dreamcast or the Wii.
And why doesn't dcemu cover more emulators or homebrew for PC? There are TONS of crap out there to report on.

And we don't have to assume PCs are only Windows users. It's not my problem, people should be less ignorant then.
Wikipedia is one of the most visited sites in the net, people should read what's personal computer.
And yes, DCEmu didn't give good support to the PC homebrew scene (which is the biggest, compared with the consoles and handhelds). Check the PC news section, I always post homebrew news and releases there.
People will always be ignorant....
I noticed there is a lot of homebrew news posted by you there recently. But there really isn't any news on new emulator releases or any news from the free gaming community, including games such as Urban Terror and Nexuiz, etc. I love those games.
I try to post all the related homebrew news, probably most of them are and will be about emulators or plugins. Besides some Arcade emulators, I'm sure I posted about all the new updates from emulators recently. Also I made a list of emulators in the PC emulation forum, where I include the most important emulators for every platform.
