In the early 1980s, Ellis saw the potential for home computers (when?). Using standard components, he put together his first computer (what?), the YX30. At first, he took it over through specialist electronic magazines (where?). Then he placed advertisements in the Quality Sunday newspapers, (what?). It was an immediate success. In a year he brought out the more powerful YX40 (when?). They had colour graphics and cost less than the YX30 (how much?). There were production problems. Many people returned their YX40 and asked for their money back (who?). In 1985, Ellis went bankrupt and Hamster bought the right to the YX30 (when?).

Subsidiaries and Branches
A company can set up a branch in the foreign country to handle the sales of the product abroad. A parent company specifies the tasks and goals of a branch. Those usually consist of marketing and selling the product.
If the managers of the parent company decide to arrange the company's own production facilities (plants, factories, etc) overseas, they set up a subsidiary. A subsidiary works under the laws of the foreign country and to the profit of its parent company. Some subsidiaries are to a great extend independent of their parent companies because the home management believes that the on-site managers are in the best position to make decisions.
