cant help but laugh at the "connect to the internet.. in MINUTES!" and today my main gear stays connected 24/7 lol my external usr 56k couldnt ever manage full speed (crap POTS) but even 33.6 was magnitudes better than my 1st 300 baud for my c64, and later a 14.4 that you cradled the handset on the acoustic coupler. my tandy model 4P (Z80 cpu, 2x 5.25 floppies, 128 megs ram bank switched) had a 1200 built in, as well as my tandy 100 "laptop" with its 300 baud <- that thing rocked, keyboard is still better than prolly 90% of the keyboards on anything today, laptop or desktop. excepting the original IBM keyboards. freakin tanks those things (they weigh more than some entire modern computers) and i still have a couple. retro build here i come 5.25 MFM hard drives for the win! well perhaps not but still.. CP/M, win3.11... dos 3.3 good times I had no idea that Tandy was still producing TRS-80s up till that 90s. The 4P looks pretty sweet, did you actually use it as a luggable though? I wonder how many luggables were actually moved around. Now, the Model 100, that was sweet. I have its competitor, the Epson Hx-20, I don't use it as much as I should but I get it out several times a year. In fact, the embedded dot matrix printer is what I use to print my wallet seeds (encrypted of course). I keep wondering if I could ever get it to create them natively rather then me just typing them in.

I would think the outcome in most universes is underwhelming. There might be a price spike, but not much of anything, and I would even think we would see a sort of reverse effect. A "sell on the news" sort of event if you will. The Bitcoin price has already been acting a little friskily. And a cool off period would be reasonable.
I did hedge my bets in my bullish post. But I do not take back the bullish sentiment. And I expect we might see it still! Also, brace yourselves for the "Bitcoin in ES, a FAILURE" headlines... OH, and if we go down much more then I might just join in the $30 buy.

More like "if you do not lock down your country, ruin all your economy and ask us later for a billion loan that you and 2 generations after you have to pay us back for the next 100 years, then we will use our mass media to decline your leader as a dictator and start a revolution in your country".

One year later... and it's pretty clear 81% were right. Those were the last days of 4 digits.

the model 100 doesnt have a printer alas. as its kinda the ultimate in minimalist full sized keyboard computing. runs on 4 "AA" batteries. beat that nowadays lol
My Model 100 is still in use. For taking notes it has the fastest boot-up-time of any computer ever made, and that includes the latest ThinkPad coming out of hibernation mode. Couple that with a really nice keyboard, solid design, and a year or so battery life and you have pretty much the ultimate note-taker. Good little system. Got me through a lot in life.

The model 100 was definitely a better device.
