school district i used to work at bought one w/ six blades (each had two P3s) to act as windows terminal servers for our wyse thin clients

each blade had like 30-40+ clients thrown at it and then management was just baffled when the fuckin terminals bogged down to poo poo once students started hittin' those feature-rich webpages

the photo is extremely misleading, photos of the bullfrog are always taken at an angle where you don't notice:
  • the desktop-size keyboard and asymmetrically placed trackpad
  • that the thing is 3.9 inches thick

it's not exactly a "notebook" or a "laptop" (lol at holding 20 pounds in your lap), as much as a portable/live demo server. IIRC IBM made OS/400 laptops too but at least those were PCs running OS/400 in a virtual machine


SunPCi coprocessor, a PC on a PCI. you were supposed to stick as many of these in your Sun server as necessary to host any Windows servers you had. virtualization before virtualization

e: they come preloaded with freedos iirc

Emergency confection port.

I've got a Mac with a card like that, a 486DX2/66 and 8mb of RAM so you can run Win3.1 in a window on your desktop

I've got the matching card and cable set with an Apple II system on a chip and a 5 1/4" disk drive and apple monitor port. Macintosh floppy drives were able to read and write 3.5" Apple II disks natively
