Re: it's nice, it works, but what it is ? Message #2 Posted by Martin Pinckney on 25 Feb 2011, 5:05 p.m., in response to message #1 by Alberto Fenini
I don't know, but based on the evidence, I can hazard a guess.
In it's day, the 75 was considered a portable computer, rather than a calculator. The overlay bears the word "terminal," so it was probably used as such on a LAN. The labels on the overlay suggest some sort of database. I know from experience that before the internet there were lots of proprietary database systems used with "in house" LANs for various municipal departments. "Fireman" suggests it might have been used as a terminal for some sort of database in a large city fire department, possibly connected to a CRT. No clue about "CE," but I don't think it means Windows.
