The only thing was that it was a hand-me down and I got it in 1991 when most people were using Amigas or 386s and 486s. Today my watch probably has more memory than that thing had (I bought a cheap pocket organizer in the mid 1990s that did). You could hook it up to a tape recorder to playback programs. The word processor took about 20 minutes to load and didn't even have word wrap! You had to hit the enter key at the end of every line. And of course typing essays while staring at an old color tv was rather hard on the eyes. By that time Basic was a little retro but it was still interesting from the point of view of someone who had never done any programming before. Of course it also played a mean game of pong as it had a cartridge system for games.:-)
We need some type of email security protocol or system (such as the use of embedded digital certificates) to verify the source of emails. This type of thing might even prevent some of the spam. The only problem with this is that someone has to be trusted enough to be a central authority to issue the certificates. Who would that be? Say an international body or standards committee? In any case they would have to have some type of foolproof way of verifying that you are who you say you are before they could issue you a certificate.
