If the Personal Computer is so good why is there no Personal Computer 2, huh?
@quirk No really, the short story was
-I'm IBM, and I created the PC quickly with off-the-shelf parts
-I'm Compaq. Can we make PC clones with all our friends?
-Sure, I'm not a monopolist! Still, I'm launching this new and improved version of the spec, that's much more proprietary. Do you like it?
-Ahahah, no way
@quirk because compaq ate their lunch
@quirk Sometimes you get "The Godfather Part II," and sometimes you get "New Coke."
