I have to admit i bought one of the Coleco Adam

I'm not familiar with the Adam. When you say it "really didn't work,"
do you
mean:
1) it was poorly designed
2) it was poorly manufactured
3) it was a PITA to use or program
??
"Really didn't work" sounds as if _nothing_ useful could be done with the
machine, no matter the skills and/or perseverance of the user.
More plainly stated: are these things _totally_ _crap_ ??? I like
collecting the smaller machines, but don't wish to waste my time if the Adam
"really doesn't work."
