Tomy Tutor Specs
16-Bit Microporcessor: This is your computer's brain, a very powerful thinker.
32K ROM (Read Only Memory): A big, big permanent memory for more built-in functions.
16K RAM (Random Access Memory): A big flexible memory that lets you wrote more in and "read" more from sophisticated software programs.
Expandable to 64K. Huge capacity. Your guarantee that your Tomy Tutor will keep up with you as you grow.
Expandable in other ways, too: Accepts an entire selection of computer peripherals. Add-ons that make your Tomy talk, give it more memory, and let you save important information for later.
Color Graphics, built-in. No additional software required for superior color graphics. 16 vivid colors allow you to create beautiful images easily.
Keyboard: Featherweight design with standard typewriter letter spacing featuring 56 raised keys with a total of 110 upper and lower case letters.
Early version of the dk'Tronics case with decals on the keys. I also have a later version with printed keys here.
Also see Andy Taylor's even earlier version that has a standard size key for space (like the ZX81 version of this keyboard) instead of a full size space bar.
HP 19C and HP 29C calculators in front of their manuals 1978. They share the same function set but only the HP 19C has a tiny build in thermo printer.
This is the Xerox Alto displayed at the Fuji Xerox Building, Minato Mirai, Yokohama.
The Xerox Alto was an early personal computer developed at Xerox PARC in 1973. It was the first computer to use the desktop metaphor and graphical user interface (GUI).
It was not a commercial product, but several thousand units were built and were heavily used at PARC, other Xerox facilities, and at several universities for many years. The Alto greatly influenced the design of personal computers in the following decades, notably the Macintosh and the first Sun workstations. It is now very rare and is a valuable collector's item. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerox_Alto
Vintage graphics I made in 1997 for a version of the 'El Diablero' Adventure Game.

The Original game was based on the Castenada books and was written for the Dragon 32 by Ken Kallsh and is available online to play using a Dragon32/64 emulator.

Teletype model 33 ASR I bought at the DeAnza Electronics Flea Market. Taken with my phone cam, horrible quality.
Oh Teletype. I love you. I've wanted one of these for many years. And now I have one!
I have no idea if it works or not. It's in remarkably good shape inside, so we'll see if I can coax it to be usable.
EDIT: It works fine! Just needs a good cleaning. I have better pictures now, too.

Look at the Nikon D200 screen. You will see a picture of the HP Computer the camera is sitting on ;-)
