I bought a batch of surplus equipment from the local university and included on the pallet was this piece of computing history from 1997. Yep, that’s a pre-rebrand Gateway 2000 E-3000 Pentium box. It’s got a network card, a modem, and what looks suspiciously like an old SoundBlaster card. And it’s retro beige all over.
I haven’t opened it up yet or tried to power it on, but I’ll follow up in this thread when I get a chance to investigate further.
Si jamais vous avez plusieurs milliers d'euros (les enchères sont pour l'instant à plus de 4500 $, frais compris) et voulez un bout de l'histoire de l'Amiga, vous pouvez acquérir le boîtier prototype (vide et non fonctionnel) de l'Amiga MCC (pour Multimedia Convergence Computer).
Présenté à l'Amiwest de Sacramento en 1999, ce proto de l'air Gateway n'est jamais allé plus loin que ce boîtier imaginé par Pentagram.
@ann3nova My old #Gateway2000 was a rock-solid system! Now I miss it.

The laptop line is next; our hippies are now hanging out in their VW bus.
Next...the squares and nerds are hanging out and grooving on the dance floor, Gateway suggesting you might need accessories for your new purchase.

The flyer continues, with the Gateway 2000 gaming/Pentium line being presented under the guise of the Moon landings from the same time period.
The home/office VESA Gateway machines have images of the 60s home, with hip mom standing near a TV set from the previous era.

This is delightful. A Gateway 2000 flyer insert in the March 1994 issue of Computer Shopper.
You go, Gateway Hippies. :D
