I bought my TS-2068 and VU-3D among other programs in 1983. Proud of my new computer, I took it to the office to show-and-tell my coworkers.
A couple of weeks later, the boss called and advised that I am to give a command performance with the VU-3D to no less than our General Precision and Link Simulator divisions who were involved in the space program at that time. What happened is, somehow, our Corporate big wigs learned of my VU-3D and got the notion that they now can have a CAD (Computer Assisted Drafting) on every desk.
I did feel like an imbecile demonstrating to the top brass what the program could NOT do and why it was NOT meant for engineering use, instead of how great it was. After the demo, one of them said; “Don’t feel bad, we never believed for a moment that a $14.95 program was going to revolutionize engineering. Thank you for letting us have a peek at what the future will bring for the masses.”
