## History

She was an alcoholic whom Dorothy had always slept with every night she had nightmares. It she was she who had called her daughter "Dottie."

A framed picture of her and a younger Dorothy is in the living room. She is eventually mentioned in the third season when Dorothy insisted on drinking the same wine she had, which did not sit well with Julian at all.

One year later, Dorothy deliberately made Leanne feel uncomfortable by mentioning how much her mother had loved her children, that the amazing dinners she would make; something that Leanne's mother never had done for her.
King cake

**King cake** is a baked good normally associated with the epiphany. Leanne Grayson explains it to Tobe that the cake is made and a small plastic baby is placed inside. In her house, the cake was very important to her mother and whoever found the baby in one of the pieces of cake was always the special one. Leanne’s mother was always the one to find the baby, and Leanne was forced to say to her mother “You’re the special one.”
Melanie

**Melanie** is a news anchor for 8 News. Dorothy Turner takes her place at the news desk after she calls in sick. Dorothy uses this opportunity to reach out to those who may know Leanne Grayson, and to Leanne herself. Dorothy does this, interrupting Walker Rousch who wanted to check in on Melanie's condition.
Angela

**Angela** was a mannequin owned by Sean and Dorothy at the Turner house who resided in the attic. It used to be in the Turner’s only apartment. It lives up in their attic room and while Leanne is captured in there, she dresses it up much to the dismay of Dorothy. She is also able to use the mannequin to avoid being assaulted by Dorothy again at 2 AM, placing it in her bed to distract Dorothy, allowing Leanne to hit her and attempt to escape.

At one point, Leanne puts one of Dorothy’s dresses on Angela and struggles a lot to do this. Later, she eats a King cake quickly, while staring at Angela, eventually holding up the small plastic baby she finds while eating.

* Due to falling from a great height, Dorothy has ended up paraplegic from the last waist down and is thus wheelchair-bound.
* According to George, the blue-eyed infant boy that has been in the house since September 2019 is, in actuality, the son of a homeless drug addict who had died, and whose infant son Leanne had been passing off as the resurrected Jericho Turner ever since. This soon is dis-proven by George himself alone.
* Due to Leanne's extraordinarily strong psionic abilities, Julian and Sean end up incapacitated, which leaves Leanne free to be with Dorothy in the house all alone as she has always wanted Dorothy to be the doting and loving mother she never had.
* In the very car and right back seat where Jericho had succumbed to the extreme heat nearly one year ago, Dorothy finally recalls that traumatic day from Sean and Julian getting her to finally remember what had really happened to two-month-old (thirteen week-old) Jericho in middle or late August 2019. This revelation causes Jericho to again revert to the reborn doll.

Iomega Rev

The **Rev** (also stylized as **REV**) was a removable hard disk data format produced by Iomega from 2004 to 2010.

In many ways a successor to the earlier Jaz, the Rev was marketed as a replacement of tape drive technology for enterprise data backup with claims of higher reliability, greater speed, and random access capability.

## Why it was Crummy

* The drives suffered from reliability issues and high failure rates of the disk mechanism and, in the external versions, the power supply units.

## Why it had Failed

1. Rev disks and drives were expensive.
2. Rev faced serious competition from 2.5 inch USB hard drives, which are less expensive, more reliable, smaller, and higher capacity.

## Redeeming Qualities

1. Performance is on par with a standard hard drive
2. The disks can be removed and stored off-site as advertised.

Amstrad PenPad PDA600

**Co-Processor(s)**: x2 Zilog Z8 for power management and character recognition

### Memory

128 KB battery-backed RAM (expandable to 2 MB via PCMCIA Type I SRAM cards)
 32 KB VRAM

### Connectivity

RS-232 serial port
 PCMCIA Type I slot

### Input

Stylus

The **PenPad PDA600** was an early touchscreen-based PDA with handwriting pen input developed by Amstrad to compete with the Apple Newton and corner the British and European handheld computer markets.

The hardware was developed by Mutech Ltd., and the underlying OS was delivered by the Eden Group, which had also developed bespoke software applications for the device that run on PCMCIA memory cards.

## Why it had Failed and was Crummy

1. Even though it sold for less than half the price of the Newton ($430 compared to the latter's $920), it bombed.
2. Its 128 KB RAM capacity is too small. Not helping is that it's backed by the three AA-size batteries needed to power the device.
3. The CPU wasn't powerful enough to keep up with the user's handwriting input, and the touchscreen handwriting reader didn't manage it.
4. The PDA600 has a rubber silkscreened coating that melts into a sticky substance over time. **Gross!**
5. The database is totally uncustomizable, and is only suitable as a phonebook.

Sinclair QL

***First article on the wiki!***

QL
--

Quantum leap? Yeah, right!

The **QL** (short for **Quantum Leap**) was a personal computer produced by Sinclair Research Ltd. as a higher-end version of their popular ZX Spectrum. It was aimed at serious home users, as well as professional and executive users.

## Why it both Failed and was Crummy

1. The QL was rushed into production in order to beat the original Macintosh to the market by a month, the Atari ST line by a year, and the Commodore Amiga by 14 months. **They didn't think this one through now did they?**
	* Because of this, it was far from ready for production that there wasn't even a prototype in existence by the time that its release date had rolled around.
	* Sinclair immediately took orders for the system, promising to deliver them within 28 days, with the first customer deliveries having started at a slow pace in April. This had landed Sinclair with negative criticism, as well as the attention of the Advertising Standards Authority. **Talk about consequences!**
2. Its premature launch meant that the system had some major problems from the start.
	* The early production models that came off of the assembly line were shipped with **bugged, preliminary versions of the firmware**, mainly in SuperBASIC. Not helping is that part of the firmware is contained in an external 16 KB ROM cartridge referred to as a "kludge" or a "dongle". The system was redesigned to accommodate the necessary 48 KB of ROM internally, instead of the 32 KB initially specified.
	* The QL's Microdrives had reliability problems, which were later recitified by Sinclair engineers, especially on the Samsung produced drives, in addition to aftermarket firms such as Adman Services and TF Services to the point where several QL users report the Samsung Microdrives in particular working perfectly even after almost 17 years of service. However, it was **too little too late** at that point to redeem the negative image that the QL had already gained.
3. The target business market that the QL was aimed for was becoming increasingly invested in the IBM PC platform, along with ZX Spectrum owners being uninterested to upgrading to a machine that had a minimal library of games.
4. Sinclair's insistence of using the non-standard Microdrive format and the system's uncomfortable keyboard didn't exactly endear it to the business market.
5. The QL had something of a resemblance to a ZX Spectrum+, leading people to perceive it to something that is akin to a toy.

## Redeeming Qualities

* Linus Torvalds developing the Linux kernel was owed in part to him having owned a QL.

## Trivia

* Sir Clive Sinclair himself had appeared in the TV advertisement of the QL.
* The QL's CPU, ASICs, and Microdrives had formed the basis for One Per Desk (OPD), the innovative hybrid PC/telecommunications terminal developed by International Computers Limited (ICL).

Apple III

The **Apple III** (stylized as **Apple ///**) was a business-oriented personal computer produced by Apple Inc. in the 1980s as a successor to the Apple II.

It was designed to provide a true typewriter-style upper/lowercase keyboard, and an 80-column display, which are key features desired in a computer by business users of the time.

## Why it had Failed and was Crummy

1. According to Apple co-founder Steve "Woz" Wozniak, the main reason why the Apple III had failed is because the system was *designed by the company's marketing department*, unlike previous engineering-driven projects.
2. In a vain attempt to make the computer quiet, the Apple III had forgone the use of a cooling fan or air vents, instead using the case as a large heatsink. This design element was suggested ***by Steve Jobs himself, no less!*** Since the system had a metal case and chips crammed together with no air vents, it was impossible for enough heat to escape for sufficient cooling. This lead to overheating. Some users accounted that their Apple IIIs became so hot that the chips started dislodging from the circuit board, the screen displaying garbled data, or floppy disks coming out of the drive slot melted.
	* Not helping things is the fact that circuit board used the immature "fineline" technology with narrow spaces, and when the chips are wave-soldered directly onto the board, solder bridges would form between traces that weren't supposed to be connected. This caused plenty of short circuits, which *required hours of costly diagnosis and hand rework to repair*.
3. It had a limited software library.
4. Though compatible with Apple II software, emulation was made intentionally hobbled so that it could not make use of the III's features (specifically 64 KB RAM or higher, as required by a large number of Apple II programs that were written in PASCAL), limiting its usefulness.
5. The real-time clock chip, a first for an Apple computer, would fail after prolonged usage.
	* Added to that, the manufacturer of the chip, National Semiconductor, had a negative reputation of ***knowingly shipping faulty parts***, confident that they could do another production run before they had to send replacements. While not a problem for customers who put chips in sockets and had extensive repair facilities, the fact that Apple had soldered the chips directly to the Apple III's circuit board and were unable to easily test a board for bad chips did not help. This problem was solved by removing the real-time clock from the system's specifications.

NavaShield

**NavaShield** is rogue antivirus software released for Microsoft Windows. Its purpose is to trick users into downloading with both nagware and malware.

## Why it was Crummy

1. It claims to protect computers from viruses, but in reality, it shows that this software was dangerous due to some payloads as listed below.
	* In short, it did more harm than good!
2. If you played around with date and time, you know your computer is infested with laughing and pornographic sites.
3. Annoying popups, even when the trial has expired.
4. Even worse, if NavaShield went too far, it deleted important files via C drive, thus rendering your computer useless.

## Reception

NavaShield was popularized by rogueamp and danoct1. More information about this, go check out via the Malware wiki.
SoftRAM

**SoftRAM** and **SoftRAM95** was a system software product released by Syncronys for Windows 3.1 and 95 computers. Its selling point was that it supposedly "doubled your RAM" without the need for hardware upgrades.

## Why it was Crummy

1. It didn't even double the RAM, instead it increased the system's page file, something that could already be done **for free** and with little effort. This led to Syncronys being sued for it.
2. Overpriced at $79.99.
3. It misleads users by giving false information about the RAM on the system.

Intel Core i9-10980XE

*Our community needs more information on this page! Can you help out? Click here to add more.***Intel Core i9-10980XE** was a high-end CPU, which was released on November 25th, 2019 as a high-end model in the Intel i9 line. This processor was trying to compete with AMD's  **Ryzen 9 3950X** and **Threadripper 3000 series** CPUs. Despite it being faster and having more cores than the 3950X, here's why it failed.

## Why it had Failed

1. Intel has rushed some of their processors just to compete with AMD, but this move had failed miserably.
2. It's essentially just a refreshed version of i9-9980XE.
3. Dated nanometer process.
4. Overpriced at $1000 while the 3950x is at $750, causing Intel to cut the price in half in October 2019.

## Reception

Despite that the i9-10980XE has more cores and is faster than 3950X as said in before, this processor received criticism from techtubers and critics. Gamers Nexus listed the i9-10980XE as the "Best" Worst CPU on their Best CPUs of 2019 list, while LinusTechTips has criticized the i9-10980XE due to its disappointing qualities.

Considerably one of the worst CPUs in 2019, due to being a failed competitor and an overpriced processor, hence AMD is still rocking over Intel due to improvements with the Ryzen.
Ben Tennyson

## Benjamin Kirby Tennyson

**Benjamin "Ben" Kirby Tennyson** is the titular protagonist of the Amphibia fanfiction "Ben 10: Amphibiland". An ordinary 10 year old boy, he was on a summer vacation with his grandfather Max and his cousin gwen. That was, until he stumbled upon the Omnitrix, a power device that allows him to transform into one of 10 different alien creatures. Nearly a year later, Ben now has access to 9 additional alien forms and he and his grandfather and cousin are now prepared to go on another summer vacation not like any other. That all changed when the Tennysons visited Los Angeles. Ben befriended Anne Boonchuy and Sasha waybright whilst at an arcade before befriending Marcy shortly thereafter. Then, things got even crazier when a few days later, on Anne's 13th birthday, they found a strange box that transported them into Amphibia, a world full of anthropromorphic frogs, toads and newts as well as extremely dangerous fauna. With the help of his alien powers plus an unlikely group of Newts, Ben embarks on a journey to find his friends and return home.

Sprig's Slingshot

Sprig's Slingshot is an item that can purchased at Ivy's StopCo in the game Amphibia: Dawn of the Humans. The item was released during Update 2.16 and was announced at the Season 2 launch event in New Mexico. The item was patched during the Season 4 launch event due to players constantly breaking the game by using a Grime's War Hammer and Sprig's Slingshot combo glitch.

### History:

Between the events of Amphibia: A Race Through Time and Amphibia Mania, Sprig was building what appears to he a Slingshot cove where he stores all of his slingshots in case of a world ending emergency. Since then, he's been building an entire utopia of Slingshots incase he needs them for emergencies like in the Season 5 launch trailer where Sprig shot an arrow at The Wither Beast while trying to escape from it.

The **Mindset** was a personal computer released in Spring of 1984 by Mindset Corp. that featured custom graphics hardware that supported 16 colors out of a palette of 512.

Conceptually, it was similar to the Commodore Amiga, which was released a year later.

## Why it had Failed

1. Even though the Mindset can run MS-DOS, it **wasn't *ENTIRELY* IBM-compatible**. As a matter of fact, it was verified that the computer could run 60 off-the-shelf software titles, a number of which being business applications. Virtually no existing games could work on it. This is because that Mindset officials had decided that they already had most of the desirable software included. For this, they froze the system ROM in a way that locked out about 20% of the total IBM PC software base. For some people, though, it was more like about 95% of PC software, including games.
	* In regards to games, the Mindset did have a built-in software title, *Vyper*.
2. Added to point #1 above, the software market had grown substantially over the past two years up to the point of the Mindset's release, therefore making compatibility with existing software a more important purchasing decision for customers than fancy graphics or sound capabilities.
3. **Overpriced**. The base model with 64k RAM sold for $1,100, the mid-tier model with a 128K RAM and a single floppy drive sold for $1,800, and the high-end model with two floppy drives and 256K RAM for $2,400.
4. The Mindset can display up to 512 colors, *but only on composite or RF*, and the CGA video port could only display the 16 colors of a CGA monitor.
5. The system's power supply ran *all the time*, meaning that the plastic would melt if the computer was plugged in for too long.
6. The video hardware was not compatible with the CGA or EGA graphics modes.

## Redeeming Qualities

1. With its then-state-of-the-art graphical capabilities, especially genlock, the Mindset was a useful tool for video production. It was even used for the production of a video for the U.S. Army which explained how computers work.
2. Despite its commercial failure, the Mindset received positive reviews, and rightly so, due to it having better graphics capabilities and overall performance when compared to other contemporary PCs of the time.
