IBM over-promising and under-delivering, again.

The ’90, or was it the ’91, or the ‘92, was the machine IBM promised to 
deliver to those customers who were looking to buy a CDC machine. It 
remained vapourware for close to two years I think it was, and was 
underwhelming when it did finally appear. But it still managed to cost CDC 
a lot of sales in the meantime.
