Hello,
Really cool video. A museum in a staircase. I love it.
Unfornunately, this would be the farthest trip possible
on earth for me to visit it

Thanks for the video.

I kept my eye open for some Atari stuff, but none of that either, and Atari vs Commodore was all the rage here in NZ back in the 80's.  

Still, and interesting collection.  If not for people saving this old stuff, most of that would have been rolled into the landfill by now.

Whichever lunatic decided that camera phones should shoot in portrait mode by default should be locked up in a dungeon and the key thrown away. It's led to a generation of people who are too damn lazy to take anything approaching proper photos and video. That was virtually unwatchable. Hwy people! You CAN shoot excellent video on a phone. For <Deity>'s sake don't be so soddin' lazy!

Grrrr......

I hear that!

You could always swing your monitor/laptop around by 90 degrees and watch it that way!

Poly-1, tho.

Would have been nice if there had been a HUG 1802 (known in Australia as the ETI-660), but you can't have everything. A friend of mine recently re-created it, but the CDP1864 colour graphics chip is a difficult find: cskordis / ETI-660-Learners-Computer
