An item of nostalgia, that's all. Computers are where it's at these days, but it is a nice looking unit.

Here's my first computer, all 64k of main memory. It weighs more than my Beetle.
Talk about nostalgia.

Sure... electronic computer control where each cylinder has it's own coil (no distributor) and the computer will advance or retard each cylinder independently. Direct port fuel injection eliminates carbs and the associated sync and jetting problems.
Sounds like my Honda Civic... how boring.
It's all about "Old School".
IDAs, 010 and dual QPs.

I have to agree. Carbs and distributors are a PITA but I suppose that's why I like them. I prefer to work on my Beetle than screw around.
