Someone related a story to me about a company (now defunct, and he
couldn't
remember the name) in the Southwest, that manufactured calculators...
Supposedly,
in an effort to obtain a loan (and thus, stave off bankruptcy), they
told a lending
institution that they wanted to "manufacture computers for the home
hobbyist
market, in kit form"... Supposedly, word got out, and they received
copious
orders (which I presume (never got the details)) they couldn't fill...
Anybody
know the "story behind the story", or was this guy "snowing" me?
