I wanted one of these as a kid, but I recall that it was something like $1000, which was an outrageous amount of money to be begging of parents with no money. When I see articles like this, I feel a tinkle of temptation. But I always ask myself, "What would I do with it?" And the answer is always: "Not much".

I currently use the MacBook Air 11" (2013) as my non-programming daily driver. The MBA11 is actually smaller, lighter, cheaper, orders of magnitude faster, with orders of magnitude more memory and storage, with far larger screen, a 100% sized keyboard, and wifi internet access. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if the MBA11 ran the Model 100 emulator (https://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualt/) faster than the real Model 100.

So a real Model 100 doesn't make any sense for me. But these little gadgets from the 80s are always tempting...
