On April 26 to 29, Comdex ’83 small computer show was held in Atlanta, Ga. Six hundred computer companies displayed their work for more than 20,000 visitors.
The focus was clearly on the personal computer as the computer of the future. Phillip Estridge, an I.B.M. vice president and keynote speaker felt the market for personal computers has just been scratched. “I don’t think we’ve seen more than the tip of the iceberg as far as sales are concerned,” he stated.
