I'm wanting to buy a Tiger Learning Computer from
anyone who may have one
they don't want. This was the kid computer released during Christmas of
1996 but only sold in limited numbers in the JC Penney 1996 Christmas
catalog. It was Apple ][ compatible--it basically had enhanced Apple //e
ROMs and used Flash ROM cards as an emulated Disk ][ drive. It had
Appleworks built-in. Very nifty.
Fry's had a couple of notebook looking things, except with very small, ie 5
lines x40 character displays called Learning Computers. Prices were $29 for
extremely cheesy, and $69 for moderately Cheesy. Maybe there is a
connection to the earlier machines?
