I had one of these as a second hand gift from a friend of my dad's who probably wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole (more like a 3rd generation one) and it was my primary machine circa 1989-1994. I remember feeling very uncomfortable the few times I brought it to class in college. Built like a brick-shithouse. The keyboard was magnificent. I think the killer apps around then for me were AutoMenu, WordPerfect, Turbo Pascal, and the built-in modem. Wish I would have saved this with the rest of my retro-stash but it wound up just getting lost during a move.


I feel like someday I'll be saying this about my iPad.
