The other point is that the 9830 is fairly similar (to

IBM5100. It's about the same size (albeit with only a 1-line display), it
runs a high-level language from internal ROM, it has built-in mass
storage, etc. And yet the 5100 is a bit later than the 9830. Why the
former gets all the glory is beyond me...
A multi-line display on a CRT helps a lot ;)
