Commodore, Amiga, Atari ST and TRS
I had Commodore 64 and Atari ST but never got a chance to lay hands on Amiga and TRS.
In fact, I did not know that TRS is a computer.
I am basically coming back to the concept of fixing NUC motherboard underneath a Keyboard and fix another circuit with liquid crystal display and make it a fully fledged computer not needing a separate monitor.
It would satisfy the One Laptop per Child concept (I.L.P.S.).
It should have a programing language, so that children can write a program and graduate to a game developer later.
16 colour mode and low memory make the program stick to original basic program with minor enhancement for audio and video outputs.
I do not like the Rastberry Pie or Ardino approach as the main vision for teaching computing to children. It is like reinvesting the wheel again.
Chip Industry in moving so rapid with mini PCs coming thick and fast learning of computer technology is mandatory.
Unless China will dominate the game and chip industry.
Commodore is American but Atari was Taiwanese.
Very same trends still exists to the next decade.
Qualcomm and Snapdragon
Apple Mac and Apple
Xiaomi and Redmi
Nvidia and Cuda
Baracuda is a predatory fish.
