That may be what I was thinking about. $70? Impervious to Meltdown/Spectre?

The early history of the personal computer was dog-eat-dog. Osborne famously killed his own company by pre-announcing his next model and killing demand for his current one.

And of course a lot of good ideas had to die because they stood in Microsoft's way.

Isn't it interesting that when Page and Brinn came up with Google, Eric Schmitt was brought in as 'adult supervision' (per WiReD) and yet he imploded completely on 20171221.
