I keep seeing comments of "So IBM did it before Apple ?". Look the answer to your question is yes, everyone did everything before Apple

the 90s .... you pay 3000$ for something new and radical and all you can do with it is play telephone dialer.

It always fascinates me that the “cutting-edge“ technology we have today has actually been around for decades. Like that z-axis action? That’s literally an early version of 3D touch! I just think that’s amazing, you know? That this technology has existed for years -- sometimes even decades -- before it became mainstream.

I love all the people in the comments being shocked by touchscreen CRTs. Seemed like in the '90s and early '00s that places like museums and government places wanted to show off that they were using modern technology with something that had a touchscreen, even if it was just an interactive directory or something.

The laugh LGR makes when he realized that Duke Nukem 3D works on the computer cracks me up.

This ain't "but can it run Crysis?" On LGR, it's "but can it run Duke Nukem 3D?"

The wobbly table gives it a more authentic retro feel

I remember in school my computer lab had one of single computer with one of these and everyone fought over who'd get to use it even though it never made anything easier.
