Multiple issues
[edit]There are multiple issues with this template.
- "HP Basic" (added Oct 2023) is redundant (same wikilink as first entry on same line). Perhaps it was meant to link to HP BASIC instead (which contains a further list of HP implementations).
- TRS-80 Level I BASIC wasn't a Microsoft product.
- Not sure why there's a separate "Defunct" category when pretty much everything in the template is defunct.
- Some "Defunct" items could be placed in existing vendor-specific categories above, e.g., Altair/IBM/Macintosh (all Microsoft), and TI 99 (Texas Instruments).
- Most "Time-sharing computers" were also "Minicomputers" (and vice versa), not sure why an item gets placed in one or the other category.
