Lol. I'm sorry for you. :)

The Rainbow was DEC’s first halfhearted attempt at getting into the PC market. It was a “me-too” offering and didn't last. It ran CP/M and apparently wasn't that good. I only remember seeing one on top of a cabinet when I worked at DEC. I remember it was built like a tank — tons of heavy sheet metal.
