I'm still upset that they threw away the original mission and the targeted userbase during the shortage. Makes all this talk about "the user" rather distasteful

I'm still upset that they threw away the original mission and the targeted userbase during the shortage. Makes all this talk about "the user" rather distasteful. The whole point was to make computers available to the underserved and then they went and threw away the underserved to serve their business buddies.
