To: null and void

I see this as the modern equivalent of the Sinclair “home computer”. That is, though it is really cool it isn’t really all that useful, it speaks to what we can expect in the future and is, from that perspective, very exciting.

Incredible! I think there will be some inventor uses, some artistic uses.and then it’s going to take off. This level is probably way imperfect now ( but remember the first consumer computers?) but making it available to the non -specialist public is very exciting.

HOLLY: I was in love once — a Sinclair ZX-81. People said, “No, Holly, she’s not for you.” She was cheap, she was stupid and she wouldn’t load — well, not for me, anyway.
LISTER: What are you trying to say, Hol?
HOLLY: What I’m saying, Dave, is that it’s better to have loved and to have lost than to listen to an album by Olivia Newton-John.
CAT: Why’s that?
HOLLY: Anything’s better than listening to an album by Olivia Newton-John.

If I were young, this would be great career choice. Ignoring home use, the potential for business uses is incredible. Home use will be limited until they make 3D design easier.

Taught myself basic programming on one of those in the early 80's. Chiclet keyboard and all.
