If we had trouble understanding it, then you did *NOT* correctly phrase
the
question.
And you have *STILL* not said what you mean by typical, which is
meaningless.
Nor have you said what you mean by a home computer.
typical - definition of typical by The Free Dictionary
typ·i·cal (t p-k l) adj. 1. Exhibiting the qualities, traits, or
characteristics that identify a kind, class, group, or category:
a typical suburban community.
thefreedictionary.com/typical
Home dictionary definition | home defined
The definition of home is something that relates to or happens
inside the place where a person or family resides.

Right.
And I had seen at a person's residence, the PDP-11 computer that he
had obtained, and, kept there, and used for for playing with octal
programming.
By your definition, a "home computer".
So what's so bad about that? Back when PDP-11/45's were current
production, I knew of one installed in a Washington D.C. area
home. Ok, so the owner was a lawyer with a home office. Any
reason that would not be classed as *EITHER* a home computer *OR*
a personal computer?
He lived in a block of flats; "a typical suburban community", as you have cited.
...
Why do you object so strongly, to simply asking the appropriate question?
Why do you demand that people ask only questions you wish to
consider?
