Almost two decades before the iPad, there was another portable ARM-based device named the A4; it was Acorn's attempt at an Archimedes laptop. Apparently it was a commercial failure; it was expensive, the platform never took off, and the screen connection was prone to breaking. Still, it looks aesthetically on a par with anything Apple were doing around then.

As of June 2011, I am actively developping a Text adventure game for vintage computers.

The development machine is a Commodore vic-20 (seen here), but the game could eventually be ported to a couple of other platforms.

I really did like the Apple IIe line. This was the first model Apple I had the opportunity to try, and the funny "return" key stuck in my mind for - literally - decades afterward.
