Joe,
Actually, I wasn't crying at all until I saw in "The Road Ahead" where the
marketing manager took complete credit for the entire concept and design.
Too bad the design was a prototype and not fully debugged. Guess he got
what he deserved. Besides we were only promised the first 2000 of production.

Check out Tandy's version of history from their web page:
"1977 TRS-80 Model I Personal Computer introduced.
(First mass-marketed personal computer. In contrast to
build-it-yourself computers available at the time, the TRS-80
was fully-wired and tested. Sold at a breakthrough price of
$599. More than 200,000 TRS-80 computers were sold from
1977 to 1981.)"
Let's see 200,000 units x $599 = LOTS of dough!!!!!! Boy, I'll bet Ray
Holt is still crying in his beer!
