Probably a good decision. Remember how well Mattel did with their computer.

And Zenith tried to get into computer too and failed. And so did Magnavox, and Coleco, and Timex, and Panasonic, and Atari, etc.....

IIRC, Philco was an early player, as well.
They were building some computer equipment for the government in the late 50's.
