Do you have any photos of this beast. It sounds intriguing. Was it the HB

model?

I can remember a computer magazine running a series on making a computer. It

really was switches and some early logic. Can't remember the name. It was a

renown mag. I started to build it but never had the money. Was still at

school then.

I worked for a while on Raytheon equipment in the airlines.

My first computer was a 'mechanical graphite display generator complete with

a destructive cursor'. It came as a model 2 and was yellow in color. Every

once in a while I had to take it off line and tune it up with my pocket

knife so precision computing was possible again. The best part was that it

was waterproof.

With the surface 2 being modular I only need to take the pieces and parts

that I need. The external keyboard keyboard has a magnetic attachment and is

easily removed. The on screen keyboard works well with a writing feature

that even deciphers my hen scratch. The only real problem is the included

pen's mount is also magnetic and does not stay put all that well and can

easily be lost. I am sure MS has sold many replacement pens.

Best regards

Jack
