When you pop the screen, the body of the MacBook Air - containing CPU, RAM, boards, keyboard, etc - is actually *thinner* than my Nokia!
This thing has to be seen to be believed. And it literally is "light as air" - almost feels...surreal?

last week we purchased a new "system" a beautiful "ultra wide screen" flatscreen monitor and a hybrid desktop unit - still getting used to the color and depth of the new monitor.
here is a sample of our new system NICE

The Vectrex is an 8-bit video game console that was developed by Western Technologies/Smith Engineering. It was licensed and distributed first by General Consumer Electric (GCE), and then by Milton Bradley Company after their purchase of GCE. It was released in November 1982 at a retail price of 199 USD ($430 compensated for inflation); as Milton Bradley took over international marketing the price dropped to 150 USD and then 100 USD shortly before the video game crash of 1983.The Vectrex exited the market in early 1984.
Unlike other non-portable video game consoles, which connected to televisions and rendered raster graphics, the Vectrex has an integrated vector monitor which displays vector graphics. The monochrome Vectrex uses plastic screen overlays to generate color and various static graphics and decorations. At the time, many of the most popular arcade games used vector displays, and GCE was looking to set themselves apart from the pack by selling high-quality versions of games such as Space Wars and Armor Attack.
Vectrex comes with a built in game, the Asteroids-like Minestorm. Two peripherals were also available for the Vectrex, a light pen and a 3D imager.
The Vectrex was also released in Japan under the name Bandai Vectrex Kousokusen.
While it is a mainstay of disc-based console systems today, the Vectrex was part of the first generation of console systems to feature a boot screen, which also included the Atari 5200 and Colecovision.
System features and innovations
The Vectrex was the first system to offer a 3D peripheral (the Vectrex 3D Imager), predating the Sega Master System's SegaScope 3D by about six years. Also, early units have a very audible "buzzing" from the built-in speaker that will change as graphics are generated on screen. This is due to a lack of shielding between the built-in CRT and the speaker wiring and was eventually resolved in later production models. This idiosyncrasy has become a familiar characteristic of the machine.
Several companies offered or included Vectrex software in their products or promotions. The liquor company Mr. Boston gave out a limited number of customized cartridges of Clean Sweep. The box had a Mr. Boston sticker on it. The overlay was basically the regular Clean Sweep overlay with the Mr. Boston name, logo, and copyright info running up either side. The game itself had custom text, and the player controlled a top hat rather than a vacuum.
Some of the Vectrex's games feature unusual qualities or innovations, and new games are still being produced today by homebrew video game programmers.
The game built into the Vectrex, Minestorm, would crash at level 13. However, on some machines the game would continue much farther, with levels containing very unusual characteristics. The game would come to an ultimate end at its highest level, in which more mines were laid than would hatch. Consumers who complained to the company about the crash at the 13th level received a replacement cartridge in the mail. Entitled MineStorm II, it was the fixed version of the Vectrex's built in game. However, not many wrote to the company about it due to no advertisement of any sort, making MineStorm II one of the rarest cartridges for the Vectrex system.

Das Vectrex ist eine Spielkonsole, die 1982 auf den Markt kam. Auffälligstes Merkmal ist der eingebaute Hochformat-S/W-Bildschirm zur Ausgabe der Vektorgrafik. Dieser Kompaktaufbau führte zur Einstufung durch Fachzeitschriften in eine eigene Kategorie: Mini-Arcade. Federführender Entwickler war Jay Smith, welcher bereits 1979 das Microvision Handheld für MB entwarf. Hergestellt und veröffentlicht wurde die Konsole in den USA von General Consumer Electric (GCE) ab 1982. In Europa und Japan übernahm MB den Vertrieb. 1984 stellte MB den Vertrieb ein.
Aufbau:
Das Vectrex war, ähnlich wie der Ur-Mac der Firma Apple, ein „alles-in-einem“-Gerät. Der mitgelieferte Controller fand in einer dafür vorgesehenen Halterung an der Frontseite Platz, so dass das Gerät an einem integrierten Tragegriff transportiert werden konnte. Im ROM war mit Minestorm, einem Asteroids-Klon, bereits ein Spiel vorhanden.
Weitere Spielmodule konnten über einen Einschub an der rechten Seite eingesteckt werden. An der Vorderseite befanden sich 2 Anschlüsse für zwei Controller sowie der Ein-/Ausschalter, der gleichzeitig als Lautstärkeregler diente. Die Bedienelemente des Controllers waren ein analoger Joystick und vier nebeneinander angeordnete Knöpfe.
Jedem Spiel lag eine Overlay-Folie bei, welche in eine entsprechende Halterung vor die Bildröhre gesteckt wurde. Dadurch konnten zum einen statische Strukturen (Gebäude, Bildschirmfenster) ohne spezielle Kennzeichnung voneinander abgegrenzt werden, zum anderen konnten einzelne Bereiche eingefärbt werden. Der Unterschied des Spieleindrucks mit oder ohne Overlay ist erstaunlich. Das Konzept wurde von Jay Smith bereits beim Microvision-Handheld verwendet.
Der Rechnerteil bestand aus einem mit 1,5 MHz getakteten Motorola-6809-Mikroprozessor mit 1 KB RAM und 8 KB ROM (4 KB „Executive“ und 4 KB für Minestorm). Als Soundchip kam ein AY-3-8912 von General Instrument zum Einsatz. Der Bildaufbau erfolgte komplett CPU-gesteuert, d. h. die CPU steuerte in Echtzeit das Zeichnen auf dem Schirm über eine X/Y-Ansteuerung der Bildröhre.
