I can't believe that the average price of a car in the U.S. is almost $50k. For rapidly depreciating assets. Here I am working out TCO costs for a range of mid-sized cars for my next purchase, and trying to decide if the extra $2k for

It's better to think of the FM-Towns as a kind of general purpose arcade machine pressed into service as a Personal Computer. It just so happens that the CPU selected was x86 instead of something else (like a 68k or an SH-2 or ARM or

right, this appears to be basically what FreeDOS is to MS-DOS, but the Town OS for the FM-Towns. The FM-Towns was an x86 Japanese PC with some really interesting alternative take on how x86 PCs could be. I watched this be introduced live at
