Dad's first PC was a Packard Bell 386SX. He killed it trying to install a 486 upgrade.

I use a THUM myself with a 400MHz Sawtooth G4 in the server room: gopher://gopher.floodgap.com:70/0/servertemps.txt

Yay! Two candles every year!

There's some additional issues with the piece this article quotes, in addition to the ones he mentions:

- When mentioning the 128, they don't even consider VDC mode, which did (on the flat 128, anyway) have a 640x200 monochrome mode. It didn't get used much and Commodore didn't really acknowledge it, but it was there.

- The 1.8MHz clock rate for the Atari 8-bits depended on how much it got interrupted by the video hardware.

- The color comparison doesn't include Amiga HAM.

I've got a STacy. Not nearly as ... elegant.

Hey, thank you! I will add that the MacIvory is probably the easiest Symbolics system to actually own and run. The full-size systems are VMEbus tanks, and some can be incredibly loud.

On the other hand, I hear from others that Symbolics had the best software, even if the TI Explorer series may be more liveable.

This is basically PILOT on steroids.

(author) Hey, thanks!

Close, but the font on the map screen is wrong. In the movie, I think it's just the regular IIe character set on HGR. His font glyphs are close but not quite right.

I salute the technical achievement, but I think a lot of games were designed around the limitations of analogue video and while this is probably the most faithful way of getting clean output (rather than brute-force post-processing), it seems too clean for the SNES.
