And I wonder what the steering wheel is for.
Can it be overclocked?
Better yet, does it play Doom3 on that 21" hanging on the wall television?

I wrote the above BEFORE Joe's post. LOL
But, on the other hand. . . .
20 MHz! Land o' Goshen, lock up the women and children and Katie bar the door!
And for such a great price, too!

HOLY SHIZZLE!
20 mhz? 16mb ram max? OMG!
Now I can play Flight Simulator at 20fps max! WOOHOO!
I had an Amiga 2000 at the time and I was playing way more games than those PCs had back then. Motorola's 68000 processor was a powerhouse.

I was wondering....
why there was a steering wheel, and why the monitor was a CONSOLE TV. Well, I have the answer now, thanks Joe.
That said, I absolutely HATE hoaxes, whether all in good fun or not.

With teletype interface and the Fortran language, the computer will be easy to use HA!
I studied Fortran and Assembler for 2 years and it wasn't that easy

I'm not in new orleans, I'm in Opelousas, about 50 miles north of Lafayette, LA.
I hauled butt last night and caught very little traffice. Got to Opelousas in about 3hrs. My parents left this morning and they're still not here.
Lots of traffic on the road.

Ha, I've seen that picture before and joked that it resembled the control room for a nuclear power plant. The large wheels in the center were for inserting & withdrawing the control rods to adjust the power output, of course. Turns out I wasn't that far off the mark.
I suspect I've used that image on my company's website. Time to do some housecleaning!
Re. Tandy: Hmm, that was about the time I got my first computer, a Mac SE, which I think cost about $3,500 with all the goodies.

Jason safe in Oppalousas
Jason,
Glad to hear you are safe and sound near Lafayette. When I learned of the total destruction of the New Orleans area, I thought of you and your trailer and all your washers.
Take care!
