What a pity Leo Computers didn't have enough investment backing to compete with the likes of IBM. Too many good things seem to fail for the simplest of reasons. I always thought V2000 was the best video format but it got overshadowed by VHS and even Betamax too. Now of course it's all DVDs. It isn't always a case of how good something is but how well it takes off.
