I heard the exact same thing from a computer science PhD in the mid-70s when I asked him about the PCs (that is Apple IIs, PETs and TRS80s) coming onto market.

Sears is particularly ironic seeing as how they pioneered mail-order. I mean, hell……..back in the day, you could mail-order a damn house. They really did have everything under the sun.

A stunning failure of the imagination on the part of Sears’ executives back in the early to mid 1990’s.
