    An Amiga 500 is barely faster and has not much more memory than a PC-Jr, but we don't "parody" the 500 like this article appears to parody the Jr. The 500 could connect to an ISP over a 56k modem and even had a reasonable browser.

    I had an ever rarer beast : the IBM jx. I'm sure it went to the tip at some point, but that would have been cool to put something on. It even had two 720k 3.5inch disks plus an infrared keyboard. The thing was so heavy I swear the case was made from pig iron.

    I love it - how appropriate to use the PCjr (with it's awful chicklet keyboard) as a terminal for a mode of communication limited to 140 characters :)
