Uncle Sam's scams

In 1989, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., now known as Panasonic Corporation, introduced a TRON PC. This personal computer had an 80286 Intel chip of 8 MHz and only 2 MB of memory, but it could display moving videos. Also, it had a dual-booting system that could run both the TRON OS and DOS. When the Japanese government announced it would use the TRON PC in Japanese schools, the United States government objected.[citation needed] It threatened the move with sanctions. The Japanese, dependent on the U.S. export market, dropped the plan.
