NABU Computer

A while back, I heard that someone had gotten the remaining new-old-stock of the ill-fated "NABU Personal Computer" and was selling them for cheap. I hd to wait a bit, but in the end I was able to snag one for less than $100 shipped.



It is mighty cool. I've never had a retro computer this pristine before. It's very surreal.

Now, actually using the thing requires an adapter and an external machine to serve it programs, but the modders/hackers have cooked up some neat programs for it and it seems fairly straightforward. As of this writing I haven't gotten the software on the "server side" of the arrangement to behave, but I'll have more time to mess with it soon. This one will definitely be at the next show!
