Dinosaur Sighting: The IBM PC Jr. does 123 and more
It still works
The IBM PC Jr. is an important artifact in the history of the modern personal computer. The PC Jr. was IBM's attempt to enter the SOHO market. In 1983, the largest computer company in the world was looking to tap a fast growing segment that it had not foreseen as even existing just a few years before. By most objective accounts it failed.
But that is not to say that the IBM PC Jr. was a complete failure. I had one and liked it very much. My most important term papers were written and printed from my trusty personal Jr. computer. Those few of us that had a PC Jr. considered the machine to be a wonderful success; unfortunately we were a distinct minority.
