I think it was right before they went public, but my memory is hazy, too.
It wasn't my area of interest back then... I was in to 8-bit toys.
"Big Micros" were too expensive for me, and I was barely into 12-bits
at the time.

I remember it, too. I worked for a guy in 1988 who had an Eagle. It
was PeeCee like on the inside, but the case was entirely different,
including the mounting brackets on the ISA cards.
