intended as a "home" computer for the kids to play educational games
on and the adults to balance checkbooks and perhaps write letters on.
I disagree somewhat, if only to present the evidence of the PCjr. Now
*that* was clearly meant as a home computer (cartridge slots, wireless
keyboard, small and light, built-in composite video).
