@dosnostalgic Was there ever a world where this was successful given how much better and cheaper home computers were for things like games and multimedia at the time?

@SHODAN I mean, in a way it was. After Tandy picked it up.

@dosnostalgic Very true, just seems a hard sell given the home computers on sale at the time. I suppose there had to be a breakthrough moment when those systems started to become serious competitors to Commodore and such.

@SHODAN Yes, some things about it were a little too late, while others were a bit early. It was still a costly IBM machine with proprietary architecture with what turned out to be a very limited market appeal.
