Guess who has two thumbs and a Data General/One? This guy 👍👍
My dad used to work at WA State Parliament and saved this beast from being thrown out. That's why it has "HANSARD ONLY" written on it in marker. Has a modem installed and came with the original carrying case.

Of course, always have to give it up for the @arcadecommons.org and @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social people.
I've said this during the con, but I've been going to this for 10+ years. To see it go from a little section in the expo hall to becoming one of the main pillars of the con is inspiring.
