Yes! THe Laser 128! I remember seeing one of those at either Best or
Consumer Distributing back then.. Complete failure?

For me, I was a C= Junkie.. Then picked up a Columbia PC (XT clone) and
pretty much went that-a-way and ended up building PC's in the garage for
friends and a few very small companies. When I lost my job as a Ranger (OTJ
injury) I really only had one direction to go - IT. If i had been a Mac
person, I would have never been able to get into the consulting field that
has been paying my bills for the last decade...
