CARDIAC paper computer unboxing

By at 11:09 am Tuesday, Jun 2

Tom sez, "Tired of boring unboxing videos? When I purchased the 1960's era CARDIAC computer learning aid recently I decided to do an unboxing video. Yesterday the UPS man reintroduced me to the cardboard wonder that I last used over 30 years ago. As my tripod has been hidden by the house teenager the camera work here is less Touch Of Evil and more Blair Witch..be warned. For those also inflicted with a love of this cardboard wonder I have started a FaceBook group. My son and I are panning on doing a set of video tutorials over the summer, they will show up in this group when they are done."

My first computer was a CARDIAC and it totally blew me away. I still see it in dreams, sometimes.

(Thanks, Tom!)
