    When I saw the pictures, I got really excited and wished I had one of these puppies in the 80s (or even now).

    Oh man I LUSTED after one of these when I was in high school. They actually banned this and other "databank" watches at my school after people were downloading answers into them for use during tests. I also had the OMNI talking wristwatch. Old school geek in the house. #seikouc2000

    When I loaded boxes at FedEx in 2001 I got to use one of these. (That's my stunt double in the pic). I felt like the lamest cyborg from 2-8 am, monday to friday. #seikouc2000

    I love it, and am really tempted to get the one on ebay, currently listed for just $2.30 with just a little more than a day to go... #seikouc2000

    @weatherman: Up to over five bucks now - too rich for my blood. Still, I love the color scheme from these 80's computer systems. Sure, our systems today are 50 bazillion times faster, but being limited to black and white is a real downer when we had oranges and blues in the "good old days".

    I see the SX-64 below which I used to write computer bulletin board software on for a couple of years. Great memories (until a thunderstorm destroyed it). I wonder if there was a modem available for the UC-2000. Then again, I had difficulty getting any sort of a BBS running on 5K on a VIC-20, so 4K and no disk drive would be quite a challenge. #seikouc2000

    @weatherman: it's ok... most of these are broken now - the radio connection between the basestation and watch degrades ... I've got one & have been meaning to look in to it.

    Oh, also, modem is doubtful. But, it was available as an option for the PC-2
