Could 'dentaku' also mean home/personal computer? Do they call an IBM PC
'dentaku'?

Chigaimasu - 'mihon' means 'sample'.

Yes, I hear that nearly everything is becoming the form of Manga -
advertising, magazines, etc.
'Otaku' does mean home or household. Maybe this formal 'you' you are
talking about is 'otoko' which means man or men, and somehow has become
used in a subjective form. Afterall, we Americans say "man" a lot, like
"Hey, man," or "Man, I wish I could go!" Who knows?
