What could a home computer from 1969 be good for?
-
Who would have thought that there were any home computers at all in 1969? At a bargain price just above 10000 $. I found this one[^] in a computer museum, and behold what it was intended to be used for!

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns. -

Thereb was in 1969, but apparently nobody used it.

At 2.5 MHz. In 69. Just don't look at the memory cycle times with that core memory.

Have you ever seen something like that in action? Ten years later a friend got such a teletype for it's Netronics Elf II[^]. Loud like hell and if you were unlucky. you were stuck at 75 baud. Printing a single page may take some time at such a rate.

I have used them (not as computer terminal but as ticker). Last time was around 1993.

It was the bee's knees, when it was all we had. I never used it to print pages, though; more for chat -- it was kind of a precursor to e-mail, but with faster response times, in that I'd type something (which would type itself out almost instantly on the other end), then whoever was on the other end would type something in reply (which would be typed out on my machine immediately). And it was an order of magnitude cheaper than the phone, for international communication. Maybe that doesn't sound like much, now that we've got the Interwebs, but it was a huge leap, back in the day.

I want three, ... no wait, doesn't do IoT, ... if I can't use it to spy on the cat then forget it.
Sin tack the any key okay
You spy on your poor cat? you know that this means that eveyone and his dog, from Mickeysoft to Homeland Security and the CIA now know about the poor thing. If you spy on it, it must be involved in something.

Well, apart from the should-not-be-mentioned-here*, what else is the IoT good for? * note to self: must not mention "sabotaging the neighbors' appliances."

It's for pulling some more bucks out of gullible people's pockets, above all.
