Back in the day I got to go to a demo and presentation about the machine.

An interesting thing about the design was that it had a 5” screen, but it could only show about 50 columns at a time of the 80 column display. There was a knob you turned to pan the display.

In the end I think the Kaypro was a much better execution of the idea, even with its sharp cornered, steel, shin smashing design.

I certainly did enjoy his books however.
