IBM thought they'd sell 200,000 of their Australasian-targeted JX computers. They made 40,000, and only sold 25,000; they wound up giving away 15,000 units to employees rather than admit having to destroy the overstock.IBM thought they'd sell 200,000 of their Australasian-targeted JX computers.

A three-piece desktop computer. Up top is a black CRT, with a single red power button. The pizzabox style case features two 3.25" drives, a recessed red power switch, and an unlabeled future expansion port. The front of the case seems to slide off entirely, which would allow the top to hinge up and off, like their competitor Apple. The keyboard, itself, is black in the familiar IBM layout, with one addition: a raised ridge, where a student might rest a pencil.

Oooh, we talkin' bad about IBM? In the early 90s, I worked at IBM Austin on WorkplaceOS. (filesystem perf!) The machines were Sandalfoots, another box IBM produced but never sold. Rumor was, they had a warehouse full of them. Really nice machines, too. www.ibmfiles.com/pages/powers...
