Yeah the Elstart Amigo was way ahead of it's time, much like the Commodore 64 and the Commodore 64. I have always wanted one of the Elstart Amigo's, but they are so rare to find now that they are too expensive for me to afford. I'm surprised Corey doesn't have one.

Ah my favorite computer, the Elstart Amigo. I love it more than Apple computers. I have only ever seen one in a magazine ad at Christmas time. It had a lovely Pennsylvania family hanging around the dinner table enjoying the computer.
Cheers, Corey

I think Florrd Johrgennson inventor of the Elstart Amigo lives in Wall

Heh....
Bill, you and I both know what's going to happen now, but I'm not going to say it because it will ruin the fun. :)
I'm drooling over the specs! Can't wait for the talk.
