This one is a no brainer. I scrapped a Compucolor 8001
once. It was a
STD Bus 8080 Computer board set mounted in a compucolor comercial color
terminal. This terminal was a large metal box with a 19 inch monitor
inside. It weighed 70 or 80 pounds. No one would have wanted it in their
house. It was ugly, huge, very unwieldy and heavy. You could attach a 8"
hard drive, 8" or 5 " floppys and any other interface availiable on STD
bus that would fit in a near full 6 slot backplane. No comparison to an
Apple II, which many people wanted in their homes.
Well, you just spent a paragraph telling us your opinion of the
Compucolor, without giving any technical reasons as to why one would
prefer an Apple II over a Compucolor.
