Then IMHO you didn't look at them carefully. I think the QX10 is one of the best all-in-one (as opposed to S100 bus, say) CP/M machines. Good graphics, 256k (bank switched) RAM, those nice Epson voice-coil drives, RS232 and Centronics interfaces, expansion slots if you need more, good documentation, etc, etc, etc It certainly is a lot more than a word processing system. Valdocs influenced the perception and image of the machine.
