Received an email on this very interesting new PC technology. Can this be real?

They've had that keyboard for quite a while now. But unless someone figures out how to bring the price down, it's never gonna catch on. Would anyone wanna pay a few thousand ringgit for that keyboard? :p

A lot of interesting technology has only reached the concept stage because their price tags prohibits everyday normal users like you and me from using them.

PC in a keyboard is noting new - if anyone of you are "old" enough, you would have seen the very first personal computers in the early 80's. I am refering to the Commodore 64 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64) and the Commodore Vic20 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_VIC-20). I still have my Vic-20 - I paid roughly RM1,200 for it in those days. There were no disc drives (not invented yet) and storage was using a casette player. The Commodores are connected to the TV set for display.

Zx-81 ? :d

Zx-81 ? :dI avoided mentioning the Sinclare's because they were not actually PCs in a keyborad - I think they look more like miniature Apple II's

Oh ya, for anyone to appreciate these old machines, they gotta be at least in their teens in the early 80's - therefore anyone aged 40 and above today would only know what myself and Franky are refering to ;) :D

For those like me in our 50's we don't know what you are talking about!!Don't worry, not many people actually went into computers when they appeared in the market. Franky is younger than me, so you figure out my age ... ;) Just to give you a hint, I was way beyond my teens when the personal computer revolution started in the early 80's :eek: :D
