Little Blue, a non-PC Compatible TL
This is an idea which came to me last night, and I would like some feedback on it.
Part the first: prior to POD
In 1977, three little boxes changed the face of the electronics industry forevermore. These three machines, the Commodore PET, Apple ][ and TRS-80 home microcomputers, these three metal boxes, began a revolution in the way we people processed information for the rest of time. Finally the power of a computer was within reach of the common man (provided they pay the high price)

Skip forward to 1981 and the home micro market had turned from a rather niche market into a proper industry, and of course the IBM corporation wanted in on it.

The International Business Machines Corporation, founded june 1911, was at the time one of the top companies in the mainframe computer industry ,and as such, they decided to create a new home computer, known as their personal computer, or PC.

This was, and still is, considered to be one of the greatest mistakes ever made by a major technology company. Put lightly, it was a commercial flop. Less than 5,000 units had shipped by the end of 1981, with next to no demand for it compared to more capable machines like the Commodore VIC- 20 or TRS-80 Color Computer. It appeared that the 1980s were to be a tough decade for IBM.*

*in case you didn't realize, this is the POD.
