Thanks!
Yes, the Osborne effect...lol. I did know about that and considered
mentioning it in the video but I was also aware of the "Osborne Myth"
(further down in the same wikipedia article). Given that the Osborne effect
is disputed, (and it would take time explaining it) I left it out. The
pre-announcements may have been a factor, but it seems that Osborne just
got out-competed by the likes of the Kaypro. Having both machines, I know
which one I'd rather use.

For those who might be interested. Contains a shot of it running an
external monitor at the end.
