Hardware, Embedded Systems El Reg has a write-up on the amazingly beautiful and hopelessly impractical Honeywell Kitchen Computer. We've covered this bizarre piece of computing history before on OSNews, in my list of the ten most beautiful computers. For those that have no idea what I'm talking about, read on for more details. Trust me, you want to know.

Awesome device indeed, I would have been quite insulted if my husband/boyfriend bought me something like that ;) It's maybe just my opinion but it looks absolutely horrible, wouldn't fit in any good-looking kitchen and it is seriously impractical, even the "analog" pen-and-paper method for storing my recipes works better.. ;)

Honestly, they should have just waited a few years with that thing so they could have made even a slightly more useable user-interface :3
