Dear Jim, I don't think Tandy was ever too interested in products developed for the M100 or for the WP2. They would be interested only if you could talk 10s of thousands of units sold due to that product. They are a big marketing business. I guess that was the jist of Ed Juge's comments on M100 sig. They discontinued the products based on a hard look at the investment/return ratios. There never were many WP2s around, partly because of its lack of hooks for programmers to do anything with. But the M!00 is still around, a lot, because so many of them were made. It is still easier to find and buy a used M100 than it is to find a lot of computers that are still "in production", but will never achieve the market penetration of the 100/102. - Tracy :(eme):
