The LINC and LGP-30 were "PC-like" -- personal, but not desktop.
When I was a student, you could reserve 15-minute "happy time" shots on Sundays when you operated a 7090 yourself. I guess it was PC-like for those 15 minutes :-).
The first time I touched a timesharing system (QUICKTRAN) felt totally personal.
My first desktop PC was an S-100 CP/M computer with 8" floppies -- you could own your own tools.
