Let's dive into 1994's Tandy Multimedia PC (MMPC Model 20)! Is it a Tandy computer? Is it an AST? What software came on it? I'll answer these questions and more in my typicallypeculiar way. Then, I restore the system and do a deepdive and demo of the MMPC software that came with it. Finally, I install Microsoft Encarta 95 and the Microsoft Wine Guide and explore those programs a bit.
