re: Technology device you purchased but nobody else did

I walked around with a Newton for a few weeks feeling like an idiot. I used it for grocery lists and drawing penises.

those performas were pretty bad

Just curious...

underpowered processor
overpriced
no ability to expand
apple OS7 was extremely dated..this was about the last device released running that system.

All of these - especially the inability to expand and the processing power, back then you could run some software to try and bump it some, but it was still bad.

Didn't know quite how bad it was until I got my little G3 Blue iMac (which I still have boxed in my garage somewhere).

my parents had an Intellivision when I was young. My dad also had the video camera where you carried half of your VCR in a bg on your back while filming.

I also had a Sega CD and a 32x.
