The "Commodore SX 64 Portable" inspired me so I went up to bring down my old
Texas Instruments luggable.

Damn, it still boots! And guess what... it still runs FS2.

It generates some artifacts in the 3D window that didn't used to be there,
I'm sure I could adjust out of the video card but I'm not in the mood to do
that:

Thanks for the stroll down memory lane.......lol. That looks alot like the
version I started with on my RadioShack Color Computer (CoCo as they were
called back then.)

Dally,
I can see this slideshow thingy taking off on this NG!
If I didn't have a life, I would be tempted to make a few shows myself
but...

Anyway, I love the old PC; cannot believe it still works. Have you got a one
man museum there?

That brings back some very old memories. Although that TI looks pretty close to the Compaq I used to have.

I agonized over that for a moment... for some reason I forced my self into
believing that was the Sears Tower. :-/

Ah... this machine came out before the Compaq and it put them all to shame.
It was hi res color and had an awesome keyboard. Only problem: It was not
"IBM compatible"... it had to have it's own TI software. I had TI FS2, TI
Word Perfect, TI DOS etc.

I opened it up last night for old time sake... wow they don't build 'em
like that anymore - thank goodness! It took about 12 machine screws to get
in to the card cage. Look at hard drive IDE interface card... it was a high
tech half slot.
