  • This thing is revolutionary in its time. The GUI and the clickable icons are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay earlier than Bill Gates and his MS-DOS.

  • @nucleartactician yes, all computers from 1984-5, except PC, have GUI (Amiga, Atari, Mac...)

    PC (l)user wait almost 8 years ('till 1992) for mainstream GUI OS only because Microsoft manage to crush DRI GEM gui OS from 1984 with DRI own, 7 years old, CP/M!! (aka M$ DOS)).

    it same right now: PC users will wait for true tablet OS from Microsoft for years... or they can use iPad right now :)

    ...just like they could use GUI OS on Mac (or Amiga, or Atari) in 1984 ;)

  • @zarjesve2 Windows 1 was released in 1985.

  • @PrinssiFO yes, but there was no programs for early version of Windows and nobody use it. Until version 3.0 Windows was largely un-relevant.

  • @zarjesve2 Well, I used it for a school newspaper. There were programs like Paint and Write. The rest of the computers were UNIX.

  • still boots faster than vista... god i wish i had one of those old beauties.

  • I wish I still had mine. :(

  • @pikefan23 It's so funny how many people treated the Mac hardware and software as "toys," and they were "baby computers." But it's MS-DOS/Windows that had GAMES! I guess fans of the second camp were not fans of getting work done. Instead they wanted to play games on their PC's :)

  • my english teacher has one of these but he gutted it out and turned it into a fishtank... no idea why considering the value of these computers :\

  • @zarjesve2 * irrelevant. I dunno bout you but I fully agree,Windows is crap. still is.

  • My windows 7 box (with SSD) boots pretty quickly

  • Still have one of these! Complete with a 1MB Hard drive which it sits on top of
