There's something you don't see much of anymore- an IBM PC Jr. This neat little machine was IBM's effort to try and take the "low cost" home market from Commodore, Atari, and Apple- but the machine itself was a bit too expensive and had too many drawbacks (the key one being incompatibility with a lot of established PC software) to fight with the better established machines in the home market. Not to say the PC Jr. isn't a good machine- it's surprisingly capable for it's time, and very well engineered and built- this one fired right up after goodness knows how long in storage. It just wasn't the right machine for the market, and IBM realized this quick and quickly pulled it from sale. This one is now in the Wisconsin Computer Club fleet, and it'll be going to future public shows in Wisconsin!
