Please read the guidelines for the hardware review forum before posting in it. I'm moving it to General Discussion because it's an April Fool's joke - note the date on the article. |

Absolutely positive. The whole article is a joke. Read some of the linked articles at the bottom - those are all April Fools jokes too. Someone at that site is very creative.

Could be Cricket. I paid well over $6,000 for my first IBM in 1987 or 1988 with a very small hard drive that was at the time the largest IBM offered. They marketed it as a minframe computer. With DOS apps it really did fly. Probably faster than anything I own today although there were no graphics to speak of.
It literally was the best computer I have ever owned. |
