Osborne History

Once upon a time, I know I read a history of Osborne Computer Company
("Hypergrowth," by Adam Osborne and John Dvorak - I've got a copy around
here somewhere.) I remember distinctly that they were the hit of Computer
Faire in 1981, and went bankrupt in September of '83.

Thanks to my sharp-eyed wife, I now have an Osborne Vixen, the OCC-4.
The motherboard and copyright notice in the documentation are clearly
labeled 1984. I thought they'd already slipped beneath the waves by then.

Can someone enlighten me on the End of Osborne?

Thanks!
