In that era people would ask me 'You work with computers.' What kind 
should I buy?' I didn't have a good answer. I made my living with 
computers but I wasn't sure what Joe Sixpack would do with one.

Some nerds did find uses but there were many TRS-80s, PETs, PC Jrs, TI 
99s, and so forth gathering dust because people were buying them in sort 
of a madness of crowds.
