>WHY a company designed, invested money, hired people and so and so for just >stopping production at number 10? its no joke but i cannot say with 100% ceratinty that there was just 10 perhaps more or perhaps even less the TSB IV was one of the last computers released before the company went out of buisiness also..there was not much demand because it was very expensive this is seen in other computers like the Tasc R40 very expensive and very few were made it takes an unusual set of circumstances for a computer to be very rare it is the same with chess books and i imagine any fine collectables a nice example for a book would be the book written by Reuben Fine and published by Cordingly for the 1936 Amsterdam Chess Congress the main production run was destroyed in a nightime air raid bombing by the german luftwaffe against a warehouse in England where the books were kept each rare item has a rich history or it would not be rare Historical regards Steve
