And if you’re thinking “at least the calculators are safe,” here is the abominable Royal Digital 3 with only *four* digits and a special key to scroll to the left or right.pic.twitter.com/MPj0pOijEr

Very cool. I was looking for the Radio Shack Model 100 here but it looks like a bit later than these. Still available at flea market sites, it seems. http://oldcomputers.net/trs100.html

I feel like the only thing missing here is a shot from the movie _Brazil_ where they used Fresnel lenses on very small screens.

I was thinking about Fresnel lenses after I did this thread!!! I recognize them from calculator displays, on top of every digit, and from Sinclair’s tiny TV. But not from real computer displays. Too much distortion?

I can't get over how much I love the SAGE terminals with the pistol-grip light pen and the built-in ashtray. Nothing says Cold War air defense computer like a pew-pew user interface and a chain-smoking operator

Oooh, that’s a good one – do I remember it right that it had a small CRT and also a small (much less popular) matching LCD?

First computer I ever programmed was something like the HP 9830, with a one-line red led display, and a dot matrix printer on top. You programmed it in Basic with the one line display. It was owned by our high school math department in 1980 or 1981. A true one-line editor!pic.twitter.com/u7HL7lpYYn

Oh, that’s a beautiful example!
