Ah, yes, a "proto-Dell". From before they got that IBM guy who'd
screwed up Tandy's computer line by getting damned near everybody
competent to quit or be fired in '86. (My manager at the Tandy Area
Training and Support Office in Glendale CA was fired because he kept the
mustache he'd had since years before he'd joined Radio Shack almost
twelve years before that guy showed up -- I'd quit a month before after
5.4 years just from the rumor -- I was _not_ going to shave and switch
to white shirts). The dickhead killed every non-PCompatible product then
he moved on to spread his joy elsewhere -- I think he was with Tandy at
most eight months.
