This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Interesting how many TRON Association members were also adoptees of the MSX standard, which had similar (but less ambitious) goals to be "the" world computer interoperability standard. i wonder if that was why they jumped off the project at the first sign of trouble, thinking it was a good thing they didn't keep all of their eggs in one basket. NEC likely ended up outperforming them both with the PC-98 anyway
It's funny because I trust the Japanese government even less than the American government.
