OK, sometimes Wired is a bit heavy handed and kinda ridiculous in their articles. But sometimes, they show something great. And who wouldn't want an 800Mhz Atari 2600?

Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN?

Oh, those are pretty sweet. I would have to go with the Coffee Maker though, it would be too convienient to pass up. The engine block was cool too, you don't see too many with two different computers in one.

I have to go with the Atari too, it's just so fun to think you could play DX on the Atari 2600

I have a bit of a hobby I work on sometimes, of turning small kegs (Large family at Thanksgiving, if your wondering where they came from) into playable instruments (not just funny toys, these things are real instruments). So I naturally applaud the Bubbacomp.

I would totally buy the coffee maker one. I'd probably marry the man who made it possible, too, if he asked.

Veni, vidi, dormivi.

That looks like a really really really fun hobby. I remember awhile ago in chat when we were passing a link about a pizza box computer, I always liked that one . Of those, the Atari, definately.

I so want that Coffee machine. How much fun would that be.
