Maybe they should get into the retro computing and arduino scene? This is an
area that is beyond the scope of the big chain stores, a niche area that
they could tap into.
Imagine if they could sell an FPGA board that could become any of their
older computers.
Maybe even re-release the CoCo as a cost reduced retro platform for
hobbyists at the same time promoting their 80's marketing strategy?
Retro is becoming "hip" and "techno cool" again! :)
