At about the 1minute mark the specs display shows it was $2300 new ($4300 in todays dollars).

Yeah I saw the USB support there, but there were no physical ports. I'm assuming if I had socketed in a USB PCMCIA card it would have worked. Someone in the comments section noted to me that there were rapid-fire versions of this laptop about the same time, and the version that didn't have USB had a very short run.

Thank you! I really do love getting feedback. Even critical stuff is worth it. It's hard to make content and never hear anythig about it. Thanks!

That's definitely Mattel Football - short : https://www.youtube.com/shorts... - this should bring some nostalgia for ya.

Can't argue with that. In my defense, _I_ didnt' write that copy, that's all EditorDavid (actually I'm sort of happy about what he wrote - it was better than my submission text, cept for the SAULDER part. I'm dyin here)

Take a look at some of the other videos on my channel. I have the basketball one and the football one. They're still a lot of fun. I did a teardown and cleaning of hte football one as well. That was fun!

I'm just happy i never forgot my login info. Would hate to give up the low number / short name :)

Oh yes. Excellent news. Because nuclear power is the cleanest, most dependable, most regulated, and lowest impacting power source on the planet right now, lets shut it down for no realistic reason. "Spinal sublexations which cause ill health?" Ah, you're a chiropractor. Sooooo, your position is that mythical twisting of the vertebrae (Oh yes, sorry, chiropractors have co-opted the term 'subluxation' to mean whatever they think might be wrong, rather than an actual anatomical definition. Convenient) ... which you say causes ill health, is due to radioactivity, that no one has ever sensed? That's quite a reach my friend.

The short version is nuclear power is the safest power we have. (Xref: http://climatesight.org/2011/03/15/nuclear-power-in-context/ ) That chart shows direct-impact deaths, and does not show the number of mine workers who die yearly mining coal, or the oil rig operators who die, or the VAST environmental impact directly from burning fossil fuels. In 40 years of nuclear power, there have been THREE nuclear plant failures. TMI, Chernobyl, and fukujima. TMI resulted in negligible radiation release. Chernobyl resulted in 64 confirmed deaths (though there is ENORMOUS variation in forecasts for 'potential deaths'), and Fukujima has, we've noted so far, had ONE death. One.

I can already hear the raising of the "But, it's Radiation! Radiation is BAD!" - yes, of course it is, but it must be taken in context. The levels talked about around these plants varies wildly, and your random "because we have nuke plants, people are getting more colds because of mythical undefineable spinal shift" is a textbook "Correlation proves Causation - a logical fallacy.

Psst. Locomotive is between 55 tons and 200 tons. Say a high speed rail has 1 locomotive and 10 cars, the cars are relatively light. Call it 50 tons. So that's about 1100 tons. A 747 maxes out somewhere around 125 tons. I'd rather have 1100 tons on the ground moving at 250mph than 125 tons 30,000ft in the air at 550mph that can be aimed anywhere, any place, and dropped on anyone's head.
