Comdex 1996: Day 5
We are continuing our reminiscing about Comdex 1996.
I snapped this photo of American Megatrends booth just because it was shaped like a pyramid. American Megatrends now goes by AMI and they are still making motherboards and storage:
Filed under the category of things that are the wrong size is this tiny LCD television screen.
I had Mike hold up his hand so we could show people how small it was. Once again, I have to apologize to the company that showcased this little screen because I have no idea who you are. When I saw this LCD screen, I imagined that we could have television on our watches. Now that it’s possible, I don’t really care anymore. It turns out that a screen that small is just too small to enjoy movies or television shows.
That was the year that LCD screens for computers were released in 11″ and 13″. Now that you can get LCD screens as big as 109″, it all seems so humble.
Tomorrow, there is more Comdex 1996.
