Omygod, I had one of those in college, but it died somehow.
Those are amazing little machines. Even today I suspect
a 28 does more serious math out-of-the-box than any
PC, unless you invest in something like Mathematica.
And does it with a 4-bit processor and 32K of RAM.

I've got a 48G now, but I really liked the 28's
full alpha keyboard; the 48 requires you to fool
with shift keys to get the alpha characters.

Gee, I wonder if you could run ucLinux on it :-)))
