I am an avid collector and restorer of IBM ThinkPads. My collection includes the very first ThinkPad notebook, the 700C. The famous "Butterfly", the 701C. The rare and early 2-in-1 notebook/tablet, the 360P. The strange mashup of subnotebook and writing pad, the ThinkPad Transnote. The cute and tiny, Japan-exclusive, IBM Palm Top PC 110. I also have a small collection of other non-IBM palm top PCs. Stop on by to try all these machines out and see what other weird and wonderful machines I come across.

Based on a concept image by Nanoraptor, a mini-tower Commodore 64 is a idea so silly, I HAD to bring it into existence. Using an ATX C64 motherboard, custom-mixed paint for maximum beigeness, and a truly excessive amount of RGB lighting, the C64T is the best Business Machine Commodore never made. Also, I'll have other Commodore surprises to be determined.

The Atari Video Music is a music visualization component that Atari released in 1977. The Atari Video Music system allowed users to visualize and interact with their music by connecting the device to a television and audio source.

The hardware responds to music's frequency and amplitude, creating a series of graphical patterns and effects that are displayed on a television, creating a visual representation of the music being played.

Though an innovative concept, it failed to gain widespread popularity, and production was discontinued after less than a year on the market.

Retail Price in 1977: $169.95
Inflation Adjusted: $905.95(!)
