Almost Computers were computers were just that, computers who almost offered the complete package to end users, but somehow how missed the mark. Computers that didn't have decent input or output like Pong.

Pong hooked up a TV to a microprocessor for text and graphical output because it didn't have a monitor packaged with it. Or like the AIM. The AIM was a real computer, but it didn't have a practical display, it was more like a calculator than monitors of today.

The RCA almost got it right. The RCA lacked a decent OS forcing users to enter data in HEX.
