The "best" Tandy computer was the "Color Computer." It has the unusual but
highly sophisticated 6809E. Its instruction set is a thing of beauty and
has a cult following for many years afterward. In terms of "cultability,"
it even bests the 68000 used in the Lisa/Mac/Sun workstation. I think the
closest camera analogy would be a full size 35mmm compact with a small
sharp lens :-)
