ones: Sord, Spectravideo, Mattel, VTech/Laser, Dick Smith. The little
British companies: Dragon, Memotech, Camputers, Jupiter, Elan.
Quite a few Australians might not share your view that Dick Smith was ?niche?, Europeans
may, largely because they?ll have never heard of him in Europe. For proper niche see the
RCA-1802 powered COMX-35.
