Who had a Philco?

Who would like a Philco Retro PC?

Unfortunately.........in a recession

and

The PC market reached saturation...........

This concept by schultzworks......might not make it to market......

But .

Here's a peak at the 3D design concept....

Or you need a USB port, or SD slot, or compact flash slot, or a decent amount of storage, or a real keyboard, or a camera, or a screen big enough to do real work on...

etc.

I still need some real buttons...................

Like a old typewriter or enigma machine...

These are by a company called Datamancer.net

I like those keyboards, now if they make a ticking sound like an old teletype machine when you are using them.....

Unfortunately...........

Those keyboards are one off.............or very expensive

I am hoping for a mass production ..........

But........

The PC market has tanked along with the economies...............

...that is one reason why I like to provide at least a very soft 'tick,' 'click,' or 'clack' sound to every switch, knob or pushbutton in a VC. :ernae:
