I wonder was the ADM-3A more common though? In the

nobody liked using, mainly because there were difficulties clearing the screen.
But 25 years later, there is much discussion of the ADM-3A and everyone seems
to want one while the ADM-5 barely gets a mention.
I wonder if it's because it's 25 years? It makes sense that the later
model would be selling then. During the 1980s we had tons of "blue pigs"
(ADM-3As) around but I don't think I've ever even seen an ADM-5.
