So it's just pushing the C64 to see what can actually run on it? Thats still pretty cool, even if Linux can't actually do anything.

I have an 1541 Ultimate II+ cart for my C64, which also has an ability to act as a memory expansion. A part of me likes the idea of installing that on my real C64 and leaving it on for a week until Linux has booted.

Load a file from the floppy drive. Can't be any slower than a c64 does it normally.

They expected people to wear that. For serious and not as joke cosplay of Hackerman. Was it even useful or could it be replaced by a fancy enough pocket calculator?

The watch needed to be physically connected to the keyboard to function, so if you were on the go and needed to add a contact you could with keyboard setup on wrist. This was supposed to replace your back pocket address book. It also looked goofy as hell which is why it wasnt displayed as such in an effusive article.

Wearable computers are almost always impractical yet irresistibly "futuristic" so they'll get rolled out every couple years and then fail spectacularly. See Google glass, and well "cyberdecks" counts as well I guess.

Those are pretty basic components. Maybe slightly better than the late 80s black plastic crap. I wouldn't pay more than like $100 for the set though.

I've personally always felt Fisher was a budget brand with ugly design. There are of course stand out Fisher products but I wouldn't pay $200 for a Fisher Component system. If everything works and you low ball them to $100 it might be worth it.

I still have one of those somewhere except the dock for the watch is on the right and it's black. Was going to chuck it out a while ago but had pangs of guilt as it was a childhood Xmas present.

If you were to find that watch - it will forever live in my Leftorium! (also I will pay you or a charity of your choice)

The last time i was going to chuck something away was the copy of day of the tentacle I bought which came in the toblerone style box, it almost made it into the bin before i realised how rare it was. It's still with me.
