Imagine, during the pandemic, your spouse working from home on a computer like this. Having to constantly hearing the computer machine as well as the keystrokes.

This was a dream machine in 1980's NZ

I cracked up from how small the screen is lol

I'm always amused when remembering the feeling of working with cutting edge technology when operating stuff like this. And now we carry more power in our pocket.

lo que mas sorprende es que los discos de 5-1/4 del SO aun funcionen despues de 43 años

Я боюсь смотреть ролики этого человека, так как следующим девайсом может оказаться ядерный чемоданчик с кнопкой запуска!😮

Back in the day, guy at work bought one. For personal use. He had been one of the key developers of NCR's banking software before he hooked up with us. Complete propeller head. I was one, but he was on a completely different level.

This computer is made by a greece called Calculus Cruelberg in the 70'. He was the founder of the goosebump. He ended his way at the hospital.

Everything migrates to the cloud and we forget how the machine should look like

This computer reminds me of the 1979 Alien's 'Mother' of Nostromo.

[eonsilver]

Floppy disk booting sound is so nostalgic

[giancarlomerola]

It feels like 400 years have passed, not 40 years.
