Osborne I -- 64 KB RAM, 8-bit Z80 CPU, two 95-KB 5-1/4 inch floppies, 5 " screen, luggable, CP/M operating system. For $1,800 -- a price breakthrough -- it came bundled with WordStar and a Supercalc spreadsheet program. I then acquired dBase 2, a dot-matrix printer and a Hayes 1200 baud Smartmodem, which seemed very fast compared to the 300 baud acoustic coupler I had used with my Texas Instruments terminal to dial into CompuServe and write my first Basic program.

 

Altogether this gave me more computing power than my midsized employer had available to managers there.

 

Entrepreneur Adam Osborne then pre-announced the Osborne II before it was ready, just as the IBM PC was introduced Sales at his single-product company dried up and the company cratered. I think this is still taught as a business school case in how not to do tech marketing.
