This looks like it needed the large magnifying screens in Terry Gilliams Brazil. How anybody worked with that tiny screen is amazing.

OMG wow!!! A portable computer that weighs only 50 pounds?? Well sign me up! Amazing what technology has done!

The price… is reasonable.

@diamondice56 1 kilobyte cards for the TRS-80 were full-length PCB, had chips hand-soldered and cost about $1,000 each. And that was in the early 80s, about 5 years after this sucker came out. And correct me if I’m wrong, but a 16-bit processor can’t address 64 mb RAM, I don’t think.

@v1f9 This is 1977. What’s a Starbucks? We make our coffee at home and at work, using Chock Full O’ Nuts.

It’s amazing to think that most elementary schoolers can type faster than the people in this ad.

OMG ONLY 50 pounds!!!!!
also don’t forget that you can plug it in ANYWHERE!!

The price: “Affordable”

At 50 pounds I could easily drag it into a Starbucks! (assuming someone held open the doors)

guy at the end is such a hustler

50lbs and a tiny screen like that? At least it was the first computer in its class.
Then again, my 1977 Sony TV would probably receive the same complaints.

@diamondice56 ….or rather centuries with 64 TB!!!!

Cost nearly $15,000 in the late 1970′s. Try accessing/sorting any data, though, with that “wonderful” tape drive. Everything was sequentially accessed, of course. VERY s-l-o-w.

@ddr122 not 64 mb, rather 64kb. this thing would be beyond its years with 64 mb.
May 4th, 2010 at 6:36 am
