HIS-MOTHER Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I was at the Field Museum yesterday with my daughter and inside one of the old display exhibits I noticed this laptop/ portable PC and was thinking this should be on a display of it's own. It was made by Zentih but I could not get close enough to get a model #. Kinda looks like a boombox style case with the strap and all. That keyboard is actually part of the unit and folds down. I'm thinking 100Mhz cpu and 16-32 mb Ram ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon|Rich Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'm with you guys there. My first "PC" was a C64 with a cassette tape drive for storage.. I once coded a simple pong game from scratch on it which took 3 months and many, many hours.. This was back in the day when you had to build a game if you wanted to play one.. The kids today have no idea how easy they have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
