Why is size/weight important for a machine that's
not designed as a
portable?
Because heavier items cost more to ship and therefore cost more to
purchase??
And as regards price, I (and virtually everone else I
know) would rather
pay enough and get something that's useable and reliable rather than pay
too little and get something that's useless. I know this is an
unconventional idea these days, though :-(
You are right on here. People nowadays could care less about quality if
they can save five percent of an item's cost.
Granted, the
QL would possibly have enjoyed more success that way, but
Sinclair is Sinclair.
Unfortunately, he's ruined just about all of his products in this way :-(
