Thola intengo ka-Osborne 1 kulesi sigaba.
Context:Umphumela we-Osborne yinto eyenzeka emphakathini lapho amakhasimende ekhansela noma ehlehlisa ama-oda omkhiqizo wamanje, osuzophelelwa yisikhathi njengesici esingalindelekile sokumenyezelwa kwenkampani ngomkhiqizo wesikhathi esizayo ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Kuyisibonelo sokudla abantu. Leli gama libhekisela e-Osborne Computer Corporation, umkhiqizo wayo wesibili owaqala ukutholakala ngemva kwesikhathi esingaphezu konyaka umenyezelwe. Ukuqothuka kwale nkampani kamuva kwathiwa kubangelwa ukwehla kokuthengiswa ngemva kokumenyezelwa. Umphumela we-Osborne uthi ukuxoxa ngaphambi kwesikhathi ngemikhiqizo yesikhathi esizayo engatholakali kulimaza ukuthengiswa kwemikhiqizo ekhona. Leli gama livela esikhundleni esihleliwe se-Osborne 1, ikhompyutha yomuntu siqu yokuqala eyathengiswa yi-Osborne Computer Corporation ngo-1981. Ngo-1983, umsunguli u-Adam Osborne wamemezela kusengaphambili amamodeli amakhompyutha wesizukulwane esilandelayo (i-Osborne Executive ne-Osborne Vixen), okwakungama-prototypes kuphela, egcizelela iqiniso lokuthi bazodlula imodeli ekhona njengoba ama-prototypes anciphisa kakhulu isikhathi sokuhlangana. Kwakunombono obanzi wokuthi ukuthengiswa kwe-Osborne 1 kwehle kakhulu njengoba amakhasimende ayelindele lezo zinhlelo ezithuthuke kakhulu, okwaholela ekwehleni kokuthengiswa lapho i-Osborne Computer ingakwazanga ukululama khona. Le nkolelo yavela kwabezindaba cishe ngokushesha ngemva kokuqothuka kwenkampani ngo-September 1983:  Ukuze anikeze i-Osborne Executive ebiza u-$2.495 isiqalo esihle, u-Adam waqala ukuhlela ukukhangisa ekuqaleni kuka-1983. Thina, kanye nabanye omagazini abaningi, saboniswa umshini emakamelweni ehhotela akhiyiwe. Kwakudingeka ukuba singashicileli lutho ngalo kuze kube usuku oluhleliwe lokukhishwa kwalo maphakathi no-April. Ngokwazi kwethu, akukho lutho olwanyatheliswa, kodwa abathengisi bezwa ngalezi zinhlelo futhi bakhansela ama-oda e-Osborne 1 ngobuningi. Ekuqaleni kuka-Ephreli, u-Osborne watshela abadayisi ukuthi uzobabonisa umshini ohambweni lwesonto elilodwa ngesonto lika-Ephreli 17, futhi wagcizelela ukuthi umshini omusha wawungeyona imbangi ye-Osborne 1. Kodwa abathengisi abazange basabele ngendlela u-Osborne ayeyilindele; u-Osborne wathi, "Bonke bavele bakhansela ama-oda abo e-Osborne 1".  U-Osborne wasabela ngokunciphisa kakhulu amanani e-Osborne 1 emzamweni wokukhuthaza ukuhamba kwemali. Kodwa akukho okwakubonakala kusebenza, futhi izinyanga eziningana kwakungekho lutho oluthengiswayo.  Ukumenyezelwa kusengaphambili kwenziwa ngezizathu eziningana: ukuqinisekisa amakhasimende akhona ukuthi kukhona ukuthuthuka noma izindleko eziphansi ezizayo, ukwandisa isithakazelo semithombo yezindaba nabatshalizimali emathembeni enkampani yesikhathi esizayo, nokwesabisa noma ukudida izimbangi. Uma kwenziwa ngendlela efanele, ukuthengiswa noma ukugeleza kwemali kunomthelela omncane enkampanini, njengoba ukwehla kwemali engenayo yomkhiqizo wamanje kuncishiswa ngama-oda noma ukuthengiswa okuqediwe komkhiqizo omusha njengoba utholakala. Kodwa-ke, lapho kwenzeka umphumela we-Osborne, inani lezimpahla ezingathengiswanga liyakhula futhi inkampani kufanele isabele ngokunciphisa kanye / noma ukwehlisa ukukhiqizwa komkhiqizo wamanje, zombili ezicindezela ukuhamba kwemali.
Intengo ye-Osborne 1 ayishiwo embhalweni. Nokho, intengo yemodeli eyalandela i-Osborne Executive yayingu-$2.495.
