Interestingly, computer industry financial analysts were apparently
not impressed.  Some claim the unit is overpriced given the soft
market for such machines, and expressed doubts about its ability
to make a strong impression in either the home or business markets.
Of course, they may be totally wrong--but there's no denying that
sales of personal-type computers are relatively sluggish, and that there
seems to be a significant "psychological block" to the purchase
of machines costing more than $600-$700 among the "general public"
(which explains why "cheap" machines like the Commodore 64 have
sold fairly well).  Only time will tell whether any particular
entry will be successful of course.
