 AT sales were so strong that IBM and its suppliers could not keep up with demand.

*[Creative Computing](/wiki/Creative_Computing "Creative Computing")* chose the AT as the best desktop computer when "price is no object" for 1984, describing it as "an innovative, state\-of\-the\-art computer that has the competition gasping for breath". An industry analyst wrote in *[Computerworld](/wiki/Computerworld "Computerworld")* in 1985 that the AT's power was evidence of IBM's belief that personal computers were more important for the company than minicomputers.


Who were the strong demanders for the AT?
