2016-03-31 16:49:15 +0000 UTCWow, a lot of those were really strange, yet cool. Before we know it, you might end up with one of those Micky Mouse computers to be with the Hot Wheels computers. Heh

2016-03-31 14:04:48 +0000 UTCDefinitely wasn't, seeing as all the old reviews I can find mention how sluggish it is

2016-03-31 01:35:59 +0000 UTCGlad to here it! I hope those other, non-educational things are balanced out nicely as part of your complete retro technology breakfast.

2016-03-31 01:34:05 +0000 UTCHaha, would love to see that
LGR
2016-03-31 01:33:44 +0000 UTCYep, that was one of many options! Think of it the same way as cell phones today can be customized with whatever you want, it was ahead of its time

2016-03-31 01:32:59 +0000 UTCHowever impractical it may be, it just looks super sweet

2016-03-30 11:16:29 +0000 UTCThe portable PC reminded me of the Vulcan FlipStart's which I believe met a similar fate at the mercy of the NetBook market <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuPeir86FVk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuPeir86FVk</a> Gotta love the character of these bizarre dead-ends of PC evolution, reminds me of the variety of the pre-PC days (Amigas/Ataris and the like)

2016-03-30 10:46:16 +0000 UTCI'd only seen a couple of these before, so this was educational. And that's what I come here for, among other things.
2016-03-30 06:46:51 +0000 UTCI remember us owning an Apple G4 'dome' computer. Thought it was pretty nifty at the time, but I don't remember it being a fast machine..
