     @thomasfuchs not sure how to cope with the concept that 1992 was retrocomputing. It's only 6 linux kernel versions ago

     @thomasfuchs In 1992 you could also get a SPARCbook :)

     @thomasfuchs I think I only saw those once or twice; I think the shell is pretty much the same as one of the Olivetti models (since Acorn was owned at that point by Olivetti). I seem to remember there was something about them having a particularly nice LCD modulation hack for the time.
     (We did have Linux on these old 26bit ARMs, so it should be able to boot on one of these if anyone could figure out the LCD..)
