It is easy to say this in retrospect, but the situation wasn't so clear cut back then. Xerox was making a ton of money from their photocopying division. Sure, there was potential with computers, but their view was "We are not broke, why fix us?" They were very successful with what they did, and they saw no need to do anything risky.
Too bad I missed that eBay item! It was always my goal to get a sweatshop started in my early twenties. I really had my eye on the kid with the large melon.
Oh well, maybe a similar item will come up for bid;)

This chair had me giggling like a little school girl (in a good way). There is a terrible downside, though. Now, I would *really* never leave my room.

I guess that is better for society, though
