Back in 1989 I hauled a Toshiba portable up to the top of San Jacinto via the Palm Springs aerial tramway to do some work on AutoCAD. I didn't get much work done; mostly I just had to explain what this computer thing was. Toshiba probably ended up with a few sales from that.
Computing was definitely a niche industry back then for most folks.
I kinda miss it.

- geocrasher 6y agoYou'd have been my hero. In 1989, I was 12 or 13 years old, and was actually living in Palm Springs! I lived in Palm Springs or Desert Hot Springs for a decade. Never did get up there on the Tram though. A shame, looking back. Small world!
- buescher 6y agoThose old Toshibas with the gas plasma displays were so cool. Razor sharp monochrome graphics, easy on the eyes, and flat. I had the use of one for a while in 1993 or so when it was already quite obsolescent - it was like a laptop for a giant, with a full sized, full travel keyboard and a card cage in the back for ISA cards.
