Oh man that is awesome. I should have realized that the Triumph Adler board was associated with a computer/monitor. TIL. Hopefully someone doesn't buy that lot just for the board. Would love to see someone use it to surf GH, play text adventures, or just generally enjoy that plasma display.

In a world of 1680x1050, that display is no longer attractive, I'm afraid.  :)) You won't be enjoying gorgeous photos of other people's keyboards, and you won't be able to tell the difference between Tai Hao green and Toxic green.

Yeah a lot of companies had a short attempt at the PC market. WYSE is another example.

The T-A PC KBs are really quite nice.
