The IBM PCjr, or PC Junior, is an important artefact in the history of the modern personal computer.
The PCjr was IBM's attempt to enter the SoHo (small office/home office) market. In 1983, the largest computer company in the world was looking to tap a fast-growing segment that it had not foreseen as even existing just a few years before. By most objective accounts, IBM failed.
However, that is not to say that the IBM PCjr was a complete failure. Most owners of the machine considered it to be a wonderful success; unfortunately, they were few in number.
