Well, unfortunately, a followup on the list is that it appears to be a clever
hoax which was overzealously reported. Still, the actual system is a 286
running Xenix, not quite as cool (to me) as a Commodore 64 doing the same
task, but still intriguing and on topic for this list. The problem of no one
knowing how to maintain or repair it stands (maybe the HD lost the magic
smoke, who knows).
