Why did this computer do so well and become the industry standard? It seems weird to me considering up until that point computers were heavily advertised for their graphics and sound only for all that to go away in favor of a text based DOS, a one voice beeper speaker, and 4 color CGA (or worse).

Major question of the day, Could a IBM Personal XT run Doom?

I honestly don't remember anymore as i had something IBM then, but i'm not entirely sure what it was.

Euros and Japs like cutesy things, Americans don't. For example, Eurocomputers like the Spectrum and Amstrad are small, cute, and cheerful-looking. American computers looked like they were carved out of granite.
