> What use would it even have? During my solo around-the-world sail (http://arachnoid.com/sailbook http://arachnoid.com/sailbook) (http://i.imgur.com/v6zyW.jpg http://i.imgur.com/v6zyW.jpg), I had one of these Toshibas on board for log entries and celestial navigation sight reductions. I also used it as a data terminal for a ham packet radio link to my home address -- at least while I was on the same side of the earth as my house. It was expensive but indispensable. One day during a storm a wave hit it and it quickly died. I replaced it as soon as I could. From a modern perspective, it's hard to keep from laughing at how puny it was, but then, I once thought my Apple II was a computing powerhouse.
