That's too bad, I thought it was some kind of "here's a wall mounted computer to organize your smart home, play music, take grocery list notes, quickly look up things on the interwebs, etc." but they actually expected people to lug this thing around?

I bought a computer with "AGP video" for thousands of marks and of course it was a video chip directly soldered onto the AGP bus and no AGP connector so when I upgraded I had to get a 3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 16MB PCI  e: I think it was like 9 995 marks, drat.

I had a voodoo banshee because I needed a 2d and 3d card, those were the days. I got half life free with it and that was like a third of the price so that was a pretty good deal imho
