I remember the Exidy had soft font character generation.... That made the
best use of this by changing fonts on the fly... It looked pretty good
when the rest of us were looking at blowing Eproms to get new characters
formed.

Why is that, exactly? I'm not trying to disparage the Exidy, but apart from
its rarity I can't tell it apart from most other EightiesBASICBoxes (tm).
Is it the rarity? The fact that the Exidy was a pioneer? Did I miss
something important about the machine?
Admittedly, I am consciously pragmatic (avoiding things I wouldn't use or
wouldn't have time for).
