I was very excited when I saw it for sale in a Computerland store. It sold for $40 so my royalty was $4 per copy. It was basically obsolete when the IBM XT came out in 1983. In 1984 I used my IBM royalties to buy a Mac and also buy an Apple Lisa for software development, an expensive device.

In my day job in 1983-84 I had a lot of dealings with IBM and I did not see any sign of dancing. It was a frustrating organization to deal with.
