A lightning fast 20MHz 386 processor and 2MB of ram for only $8500! What a bargain!

Monitor and mouse not included, too funny!

This is the strap I got at Epcot:
...

The part that is against your neck is like velvet stuff. Very comfortable - just a lil warm, but not even noticeable after the first 30mins.

I was hoping you'd post a picture or better description. It looks and sounds really nice - pretty close to what I'm looking for! I'll keep my eye out when I'm there!

Thanks

Actually, the small bags could quite easily hold a pistol, or a small explosive device, and probably be less detectible. Not that I'm paranoid or anything...:lookaroun

Actually, I have family in law enforcement, including at homeland security (and no, I don't mean an airport screener!)

So can your pocket, that was sorta my point. If someone is smuggling some weapon into a park, they're not going to put it into their backpack.

And that Tandy 5000 was quite advanced! My uncle had a Tandy 1000, 8088 processor at 4 MHz or something like that. We used it to play solitaire more than anything else! He was a manager at Radio Shack.

Point 1 - absolutely! My point was addressing the idea that a small bag couldn't hold anything that would need to be searched...and you were very correct.

Point 2 - I remember those... as well as the old TRS80 Model 1 and Model 2. I had a friend who's dad used to build them for people (back in those days you had to buy a kit and assemble it yourself!). We used to play Space Invaders back when you started the computer, loaded the OS from a cassette tape, then loaded the program from the same cassette player - in this case, it was your average everyday tape player. To get sound, we placed an AM radio next to the computer - the changes in the magnetic field of the monitor changed the static on the radio!

I had a TRS-80 also (actually three over several years). But since my uncle was a RS manager, I had the luxury of the 5.25" floppy! I used to hate the cassette tapes!

Back on topic, that pic of the sidewalks is awesome! And impossible without a tripod!
