In this article, I'm going to explore the idea that the 8 bit home computer not only had a great deal to offer the prehistoric early-humans of 1985 but that it may also have a place in the modern world; perhaps, there is something that we can learn from it. Having identified the laudable, worthwhile elements of this class of machine, I'm going to make some suggestions towards a scheme that would embody these characteristics in the form of a machine that would have a place within the modern world.

While I personally wouldnŽt use such machine in any shape or form, I could see my parents learning their way into computers using something like this. I definitely liked the special keyboard buttons to swap "applications" and those tied to the webbrowser thing.
But IŽll have to agree with the first poster that something along these lines has been tried before with little to no success and therefore you would be hard pressed to find investors willing to put some cash into a project around this concept.
But it was a good read nonetheless. Thanks a bunch!
