Ectaco ERX8 - the loss of your time and money..

Remember computers of early 1980s and imagine that there was no competition between companies and brands in the digital area. Imagine how today's computers might look if this scenario eventually worked out - you have a picture of Ectaco ERX8. You can just wonder in which year this little freak (sorry, this little computer product) has been designed. Most functions are useless, and not because you don't need them. You DO NEED, but they are presented in such a bad manner, that eventually making them useless. I'm speaking about how it pronounces the word, how it "helps" you when you search for the word through the dictionary, or how it "guesses" what are you about to write from the keyboard. Looks like that guys who actually developed this product never saw a computer or never hold the ultra-small notebook in hands.
Sorry, I can hardly imagine something worse than this.
