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.
