The first decade of the personal computing industry saw many blunders and missteps, from the Apple III's overheating problems and market position to the Coleco ADAM's tendency to erase its own tapes. Even well-established companies like IBM fumbled, although it was unusual for them to fumble so badly at the height of success. In this look back at the 1980s home computer market, we'll cover IBM's second-biggest blunder from that time: The IBM PCjr. Topics covered will include what IBM was trying to accomplish (and what actually shipped), how and why it flopped so badly, and how, despite its failure, it still managed to change the PC industry forever. An actual PCjr will be demonstrated so you can admire or ridicule IBM's failure to your heart's content.
