I was using all of the old interesting software before Microsoft took over the market.
We had 2 of those at work. They sat in a store room- no one wanted to take responsibility for throwing them out because they were so expensive back in the day, but were TOTALLY obsolete before the turn of the century.
I remember that padded brown pizza bag and the cover/keyboard thingy. I don't think I ever booted either of them up.
