BEHEMOTH – Big Electronic Human-Energized Machine, Only Too Heavy
I vaguely remember this as a kid. For those who are better readers than I, does this site describe what all the computer hardware actually does? I was expecting something like primitive turn-by-turn navigation, but there doesn't seem to be focus to this, just a whole lot of desktop hardware grafted on a bike. It doesn't make any sense even in an era before common mobile hardware.<p>Edit: While mobile hardware really didn't get good until 20 years later, the TRS-80 Model 100 existed in 1983 which had a real keyboard, could run third-party programs weighed under 4 pounds, had battery-backed memory and <i>ran 20 hours on a set of 4 AA batteries</i>. So a non-absurd solution for some portion of his design requirements existed.
