Today's forgotten computer: The Hyperion.
Launched the same year as the Compaq portable, but couldn't match it in IBM compatibility (both on software and disk drives). So ultimately failed.
A bit of a "what if" moment. If it had won that battle, Canada would have been the home to IBM's main rival.

Could have sworn it was an HP, but this thing was old in the late 80s/early 90s and memories are hazy...
They got stupidly lucky finding one in working condition, whoever it was.
Thing is, if it's been stored well then your main issue with an old computer is caps. And they're only a fatal issue if they've exploded in a particularly nasty way. Otherwise you can just replace or reform them.
There's now about six different other folks covering it as well so broadening my catalogue of fellow nerds to watch.
