Most of what I have read about this time has been anecdotal, not old-fashioned sales figures or marketing reports. I have checked all of the sources that I have for more details, not much found to confirm or refute this. I have the 1969 Keydata industry guide, but I'd need the 1970 version that would be the ideal source if anyone has it, for sales/prices/etc. -- @ BillDeg: Web: vintagecomputer.net Twitter: @billdeg <https://twitter.com/billdeg> Youtube: @billdeg <https://www.youtube.com/user/billdeg> Unauthorized Bio <http://www.vintagecomputer.net/readme.cfm>
