just a little off? I think it is more like a lot off. I still haven't figured out what the steering wheel is for.

Most people back then thought that the computers we would be using now would weigh more than 2 tons.
I have to laugh really hard though...It says with Fortan language it will be easy to use.....

There is nothing wrong with the Adam's Family. It is a lot better than most of the junk on TV now a days...

Yeah but didn't etch-a -sketchs have two knobs that your turns to move the thing around. That computer only has one steering wheel...

Yes, in fact the etch a sketch did have two wheels. One to control vertical and the other horizontal movement.

That is what I thought. I still have an old etch-a-sketch laying around here somewhere.

Well if it was such a bad show, i wouldn't be watching it. I just meant I didnt watch the whole marathon because i was crazy for it; in fact, it repeated the episodes at least 2 times, so unless you REALLY liked it, no one would watcht he whole thing when it repeats the episodes over and over again... Good theory, but i dont think they'd use etch a sketch principles in the computer when the mouse and the mouse pointer would not be thought of or implemented until a while later and would be of no HUGE importance until a GUI was developed for the PC.
