Also, as I understand it, Tandy was forced to discontinue the M102 and WP2 because the Japanese manufacturers refused to produce them in the quantity that Tandy wanted. Tandy projected sales of X during the next year and the manufacturer said we will only build them if you order X+Y. Tandy knows how the machines have been selling over the past few years and the manufacturers wanted them to order too many to make it work. Take a look at a car dealers lot and you'll see what can happen in such a case.
