Where did you get this gem from? Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

wow what a time capsule

[PremierSullivan]

Gah! We missed the part about the chorded keyboard! What a loss.

That's not a good thing at all, lack of computer ability is the illiteracy of the 21st century.

Interesting how the mouse started out with the cable on the back, under the hand whereas now (if you still have a cabled mouse) it comes out the front.

Talks about the hardware used - Mouse, Keyboard and "chord" keyset. CPU, hardware architecture and just how the black on white video was created.

To think, that device is now in every home.

... of the G20 countries. What is that? Roughly a third of the world's population?

[mornnb]

In many 3rd world homes too.

[guyfawkes13]

No. In 3rd World homes they have the other kind of mice. The rodents...

[mornnb]

Just because they are poor doesn't mean they aren't in the 21st century.

I'm just saying, son. It may be the 21st century, but computers are not yet (thank God) in EVERY HOME.
