One got one of those when they were new. Twas funny. Twas also too bright. (New) computer magazine suggested putting a woman's stocking over the thing to save your eyes!! This is where I can justifiably write LOL.

I took it to bits and neatly soldered a resistor in series with the brightness control. The range was now normal.

We sat at this machine for a few days till the Rivetess said, Let's take this @$^ thing back. The File management was about the only good thing about the whole system. A pre-courser to X-Tree perhaps.

I took the whole shebang back to the curry shop and got me money back. Some lucky soul had his eyeballs saved by my efforts.
