At 1:38 what program is that doing that music? And what song is it?

[ed1269]

The program is VideoTunes and the song is Sonata #2 by J.S. Bach.

[ClassicTVFan82]

At about 3:30 in the video, are you using the Atari 2600 expansion module (#1)?

[ed1269]

Yes, it connects to the right hand side of the computer.

@Teucizapan1969 Steve Wozniak owned a Ford Pinto, and described it in his autobiography.

[Watcher3223]

Sorry about that, but I just had to.

[Teucizapan1969]

Oops... I meant Watcher3223, not Watcher123. Sorry for the typo.

[Teucizapan1969]

Huh... Didn't know I could get a reply a year later, Watcher 123. LOL!!!! But good point; that was the same argument Ford executives made back in the late 70's regarding the casualties resulting from their Bomb on Wheels-The Ford Pinto. They were hoping it would work in their defense but we know otherwise.

"What engineer worth his salt integrates the main power source in the printer?"

An engineer who probably wanted to keep his job amidst pressure from his bosses to have a product out quick and dirty.

Same justification for many of Chrysler's crap.

I mean, what engineer worth his salt puts the battery inside the fender well requiring you to remove a tire just to get to it?

[burrows1978]

It`s almost as slow as the desk top pc that i have at the moment! lol

[DownloadPranks]

[borde1770mar]

[cutebikerwannabe]

It would be good to see more videos of the rare Daisy Wheel Printer,

Perhaps a Demonstration of it's features

[Teucizapan1969]

This computer would have sold more units and would have been available well into the '90s like Commodore and Apple if only Coleco hadn't rushed production. What engineer worth his salt integrates the main power source in the printer?
