The screen was nice but I like the new digital LCD's better.  The keyboard
was on a par with the lexmark, now also defunct.  The mouse just plain sucked
with 2 whole buttons.  We used to have to wire wrap two pins together on the
ps2 interface to plug in our own mouse and make it work.  We also had continuing
problems with backing out of interrupts: the processor didn't take interrupts
between instructions.  Instead you had to figure out the state of the machine
and back it out by hand.  We were pretty good at this but I remember there still
being a lingering problem.
