The real problem is computing stagnation. Even HPs CEO recognizes this and
is trying to do something about this. Kind of reminds me of the 70s and
CP/M and S-100 boxes. That market stagnated as well. When IBM came out
with something new, the PC, the CP/M almost died overnight.

Ah, no. The Z-80 had been taken about as far as it could go with
general-purpose systems. That is why the IBM pc took over.
