Re: Mindset keyboard

Yeah I just saw it and it reminded me.

I actually found a pic on pinterest that showed three components together: the keyboard, computer and expansion unit all together in boxes. I think the system unit pictured there might have been mine.. it had a number 1 written in black marker on a yellow ...
