    The first video you've posted is of a Volkswagen double cab vanagon truck. Definitely sold in Europe.

    In the early 80s we had van halen on the apple 2+. creative computing magazine published a assembly language sampler with variable sampling rate. the apple 2 had a sound input - the cassette input.

  7. 1980 Electrohome EVM 1410, 1962 Sony Micro TV on Who Still Uses Old Monitors? · · Score: 0

    I have a black and white Electrohome EVM 1410 (V10421) that was manufactured on February 14 1980 hooked up to a Philips Colour Voice 2000 cable converter. The Electrohome has the 'Walnut' finish - fake woodgrain on metal.
    I also have a colour Commodore 1702 that I use as a TV and Apple //e monitor and a green Apple Monitor ///.
    I have two early-mid eighties Xscribe HRM-1 High Resolution Monitors (and a Xscribe C/PM box to go with them).
    Oh yeah, the oldest TV I have is a Sony 5-303W Micro TV from 1962. Ten bucks at the Salvation Army. Bought a power cord (first place I went to had one in stock) and it works great. Original carrying case with Sony hardware.

    Actually, to me (a Canadian of USian descent) it always seems weird and wrong to hear the word America used to refer to a country rather than a continent. It reinforces the stereotype the all USians are stupid.
