        I'm sure I still have a stack of Byte magazine issues lurking around here somewhere. The image from the cover of that edition stuck with me.

          Who in the hell would have fingers small enough for THAT keyboard, though? LOL!
          sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

            While the tiny disk looks ridiculous, it looks about the size of a modern microSD card.

                the physical representation aside, this miniaturization and portability did come true. Not in watch form though. Think of all the things your phone does using apps that outpace computers circa that time frame.

                Looks like the didn't foresee touch screens nor transmission via wifi/data to solve the tiny keyboard and disc drive problems.
