Monorail Inc.
- ... that Monorail Inc.'s first computer, with its all-in-one design and flat-panel display, prefigured the iMac G4 by over five years? Source: Hayes 2002, p. 30
- ALT1: ... that the die used to stamp out the steel case of Monorail Inc.'s all-in-one PC broke within a few months of the computer's release? Source: "Monorail's obsession with low overhead exacted a cost last year when the die used to stamp out the computer's steel case broke. Mr. Johns had lined up contingencies for many potential problems, but he didn't have an alternative metal stamper. "That's when I started yearning for my money back," he says. Production stopped and in just a few days, store shelves were empty" (Ramstad 1997, p. B1).

Great article, but I don't really like the fact many of the sources are behind paywalls or offline sources. Still think its good enough for DYK however. Rlink2 (talk) 18:07, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Rlink2: QPQ now fulfilled. Unfortunately my articles are almost always loaded with articles locked behind paywalled research databases because I write about companies and technology that flourished before ~1996, which is about when newspapers started doing born-digital content/simultaneously digital and print content. Most of the contents of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Wall Street Journal articles are present in the beginning of the LGR video if you wish to verify the contents. Thanks for the review and compliment! DigitalIceAge (talk) 23:38, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
