You know it’s the future when it says “2000” on it.

Oh man I wanted that thing so bad when I was a kid.

I had the less-cool but still really cool Verbot.

That's so very cool.

I like how cleverly designed this portable tv is. The conical shape necessitated by the CRT has been made to feel like a feature and not a bug.

I had one of these!! Wow... I'd totally forgotten about it. I believe that was a pull out drinks tray on the front. I remember carrying it around by those neck handles cos it kept getting stuck in corners 🤣

I remember wanting one of these when I was younger

There's no way in the world that I could have ever afforded it though
