Back around 1983 at the old Smirnoff Labs there was talk of RCA getting into home computers. But this was after several other players had the market, and IBM had come out with their PC. RCA abandoned the idea when they realized that they would do little more than say "Me too"... I knew some guys in a group that was looking at the existing home computers of the day, the Commodures and Atari 800s, and I remember when the Coleco Adam came in, what a POS that was... We all liked the Atari 800 the best.
