What a beautiful machine, terrible shame it came to the market a bit late. It still carries features that are desirable in my opinion, between the easy access through a phone line and overall protection of messages. Awesome to see a video segment thought to be lost to time. :D

We're so gonna need these when the internet goes down.

I still think these are so amazing. The style is so beautiful.

Aaron is just awesome! I wish this amazing machine took off :(

This is amazing, I really really wish these would’ve blown up.

Had this come out in the 80's it couldve been a big hit but by the late 90's AOL, Yahoo, and Hotmail had pretty much cornered the market with free email.

love how he said billybob when explaning the email address

"We're the only company not paying royalties to Bill Gates" nice to see Aaron was always as witty as he is today lol

I remember back in the 90s there were some dedicated email machines but they were not machine to machine - but machine to server. You still had to know and document email addresses. This is more like a dedicated secure sms system instead of email because it was peer to peer and not peer to server. I could see this being useful in a distributed office environment at the time. Or a special system for a small business or execs. It is too bad it never took off. Lotus notes and/or lotus cc:mail was extremely popular in the mid to late 90s. But in the 80s and early 90s there really wasn't an office messaging system. This could have done the job! Thanks for posting Aaron!

Incredible video. I'd love to see more videos of this sort! :)

This is pretty awesome to see. If only you could have gotten it out to market faster.

I wonder if Steve Jobs showed up there? Some years later we got the first iMac.

Wow aaron touch screen before touch screen was a thing

Did anybody see The Billybob

you're such a genius aaron

Woah! Very interesting........... Love it!

God bless you showbiz and keep on moving

It would be a nice device to put it in a science museum if it was in Japan.

Awesome idea! I'd like to install one on my grandparents' house to the fax passthrough.

Interesting stuff! Can't wait for Bear a Dise restoration XXI :)

i like this idea. I kinda wish i had this machine, you had the best ideas aaron

Nice! I love it!! B-)

+therockafire I'd love to have one just for a cool scifi prop, doubt it'd be cheap though

When it started development in 1982 it made a good deal of sense and would probably changed the market but by 1996 it was just to late. I do wonder what would have come of this if it just came out a few years earlier.

I'd buy one right now.

Wow!!!

this is so cool!

I'd probably buy one if I ever have enough money.

aaron is there any min billy bobs left

Can someone explain what he's saying? I hear English poorly understand, can only text to translate, explain briefly please)

neato

I love the video. I'm curious about this though: did the guy in England actually get one and did he actually use it?

I Like That Hair Aaron

nice 👍

Cool... do you still have some of these.

"HI there bro."

Why does this guy remind me exactly like Dr. Shiva behind today's most trustworthy voter integrity audit process!!! Dr Shiva is also the "inventor" of modern email!!!

does any work these days

WAIT ITS TOUCH SCREEN COOL!

So Happy Right Now. :-)

Why not design it like the Commodore SX64?

does any buddy else want one of these or is it just me

ugh so late...

Only from a guy who makes singing animals...

Testing comments

Can I PLEASE have one! In green!

Why is billy bob so skinny 😂

cool idea, but yeah this was way too late in the game. We already had PCs with Windows 95 and AOL, nobody would have wanted a machine that pretty much only did email

look out Bill gates

Aaron can u make a vid interviewing Scott cawthon

FIRST!!!!!

Wow!!!
