I miss the days when every new machine was an experiment to see the best computing model.
- And ones better than the current mainstream were pretty numerous.
We definitely need more computers that are red.
I used to own a Libretto just like the one on the image. Ran OpenBSD on it a while. Those machines were ridiculously fun. They had this little trackpoint style pointer on the right of the screen to use it in handheld mode. Truly ahead of their time.
Huh, TIL about the Pliche: https://lowendmac.com/musings/pliche.shtml
The MSX Paxon looks interesting. I didn't know Last Call BBS was based on a real machine.
- Very !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee!
Cool but can they run Linux
- They probably can run Doom
Netbooks have never looked so cool
