The '79 Kitchen Computer

The mind boggles:

I wonder how much the devkit of that thing would cost in our days, debugger, emulator etc.

j/k of course, but feel free to scratch your head and feel awed at the same time.

PS: the reason I filed it under general gaming is that it's like a precursor to arcade games, same cabinet philosophy, different audience.

 

150 lbs, and $10,600. Yes my mind is boggled.

 

So glad we live in modern times, my girl doesn't need a computer to make me a sandwich

 

"Binary Cooking Mama coming to a mainframe near you soon"

 

The funny thing is that the same thing probably exists today as some sort of iPhone app or social media, and no one even knows to laugh anymore.

 

What an impractical thing! They've been using that "store your recipes on it" ruse for ages and ages!

Also, that computer's from 1969 as it says on the page.

 

I'm prolly gonna buy it Xp

 

rolf..so the mama had to be a half trained programmer to use and understand that thing :lol:

 

Looks like something straight from Start Trek the Origianl series.. .

It really is quite amazing how far along computers have come in a relativly short period of time..
