My elementary school had a couple of them in the computer lab. We would sprint down there to try and get them first.
I remember going, as a highschool student, to a university open house and watching the students in the computer lab playing some tank game (bz?) on Silicon Graphics workstations with the biggest CRT monitors I had ever seen. Good old days!
That's a fantastic resource! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Definitely among my favourite channels.

Electronics designed to be used in prisons are often required to be manufactured using transparent plastic cases. (to prevent smuggling and to make it harder for inmates to hide stuff)
I had a 900Mhz cordless phone with see-through blue plastic in the early 00s.
Somewhere I have a transparent wii controller and Xbox controller
totally had that phone!
