After hearing about the big earthquake and tsunamis
that pounded the Far
East, I found myself wondering about one of my all-time favorite sci-fi
authors, Arthur C. Clarke. He lives in Sri Lanka, one of the areas that
was hit hardest, so I was snooping around the Web to see if I could find
any info as to whether or not he is okay. During my search, I came
across this real cool pic of him working hard on 2010: Odyssey 2. The
copyright date on the picture is 1984, so it is no surprise that a
couple cool classics would be involved. Check it out...

The computer in the background is most likely a Televideo with dual
built-in 5.25" disk drives. I don't know the model number but I've got
one.
