Re: Interesting machine, but hamstrung by TI marketing
"TI marketing didn't want it to compete with their lucrative mini computer market, so they deliberately made sure it couldn't."
Hmm. That sounds familiar...
Is this a common pattern? The established vendor doesn't want the new technology to eat into their existing markets, so they are eaten (whole) for breakfast by upstart competitors who don't mind offering a product that eats into that market. (Moral: cannibalism is good because at least it is you doing the eating.)
