VectorDepot Computer

The VectorDepot Computer was a Personal Home Computer released in 1979 by Maximum Computing Inc.

History
The VectorDepot Development Began in 1977 as a sequel to Maximum Computing's previous computer the Vector Storage Computer 5 (VSC-5) which was a workstation computer released in 1973, The idea of the Computer began in 1975 when Maximum Computing wanted to create a successor to their very successful computer the VSC-5 and at first it was basically the same thing as the VSC-5 with basically the same layout but overtime would begin to disassociate itself from the VSC-5, After some hardware and software changes and the change from it to be sold exclusively to businesses to mostly a retail release the first VectorDepot Prototype was finished in Mid 1976 and would later see a full retail release in October of 1977 just in time for the holiday season and for a retail price of 300$ (1,345 Today) which just like how its predecessor was surprisingly cheap compared to its competitors (Commodore, Apple etc.) who were selling their computers for around twice as much as the VectorDepot, The Computer was a success like its predecessor and was marketed as a budget computer for people but more or less families who wanted a computer but didn't want to shell out around 700$, The Computer would sell around 1.4 Million Units in its first year and 12.7 Million Units by the end of its lifespan and would be discontinued in 1982 because of advancing technologies.

Legacy
The VectorDepot is looked back on as a pioneer in the history of computing with its low price point and quality software and hardware support being a factor too.
