mattx Posted September 19, 2009 Author Posted September 19, 2009 *Homes in on thread with bad puns* Oh an old Apple, bet its a single core.... You deserve some negative rep for that one !!
StewartKnight Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I was just thinking, I'd offer you a tenner for it!
duncane Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I take it you don't have a sol then ? http://www.jodypaul.com/gr/sol20.jpg I said they had more character - I didn't say they were necessarily pretty The Sol looks to be the "Susan Boyle" of computers.
john Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 The Sol looks to be the "Susan Boyle" of computers. Not the best looking but blooming out of this world amazing performance?

oxide54 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Actually, the IBM 5150 is the very first PC. wasn't it the XT
Fuzzz Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 It is a XT (8086). It has tape-port on the backside and if I disable the harddrive it boots into ROM-basic
srochford Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 wasn't it the XT Not quite. XT was very early but it wasn't the first model - check IBM's own web site for some more history IBM Archives: The first 10 years I love the "Portable Personal Computer that can travel where the work is" but at 30lb weight I'd guess it helps to have a trolley to shift it! Could you imagine offering a 30lb computer to someone today and telling them that it's portable :-)
tmcd35 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Could you imagine offering a 30lb computer to someone today and telling them that it's portable :-) HP still think theres a market for them HP's 20-inch HDX "Dragon" Laptop Walked Through and Reviewed - Dragon - Gizmodo EDIT: okay, it's 15.5lbs, but still - would you want to carry it?
