 A> Yeah, I love watching those old episodes of the Computer 
 A> Chronicles. It's particulary fun to reflect on the 
 A> paranoia (here in the states) about what the Japanese 
 A> computer industry was doing and how they might out-
 A> compete us.  That never really panned out, but it's 
 A> definitely something that got brought up a lot on those 
 A> early shows.

Now that you mention it, I did notice that as a recurring theme.  It caught my attention as I got into computers in the late 80s-90s, and by then I don't remember hearing about Japanese companies taking over the North American computer market.

There was sure a LOT of change (and creation) going on in the 70s and 80s computers business!
