But generally, my audience was one tv station, so I had the agility to fix it once I saw that it wasn't working that well. But it wasn't drudgery to me, I was having immense fun proving it didn't take $20,000 to do THAT job, I was doing it with a far better user interface, and 4x faster than the 20 kilobuck kit from the Grass Valley Group folks. And sold it to the tv station as a trs-80 color computer 2, with 2 disk drives, for $250. Running a program I wrote in basic09.
