Few people have heard of it, yet many consider John Blankenbaker's KENBAK-1 to be the first commercial personal computer.
The "ITX TV/PC" - A New Lease On Life For An Old Portable TV Set.
By James Grahame
Have you noticed how everyone is so bored with dull beige/black/silver computers that they're starting to stuff them into everything? Even Teddy Bears? Sure.
So... it should come as no surprise that some bloke in England has stuffed an entire Mini-ITX computer and monitor into an old 1970s National TV set. He replaced the bulky old CRT with a slim little LCD TV/Monitor, enabling him to occasionally use the TV as... err... a TV.
The machine's biggest drawback is the 9-inch screen. It'll only run 640x480 resolution, which makes Windows XP a tad challenging to use.
