Anyone remember the "Osbourne 1"? It was one of the very first "portable" (read "small suitcase sized") computers and was extremely popular in its time. The company made the absolutely catastrophic mistake of pre-announcing the launch of a much improved "Osbourse 2" - sales of the current machine completely dried up and the company folded as a result. It's one of the classic "don't do this" lessons of the computer industry.
