Tempest Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I was re-reading one of my old MAD magazines and I spotted what appears to be an ADAM computer in one of the articles (MAD Nasty File): I have no idea what issue this came out of since this was a "Best Of" issue, but it must have been around 84-85. The artist didn't get the system 100% right, but there's no mistaking that's what he was going for. I wonder why they chose the ADAM of all things? I think point 2 is dead on (for the ADAM anyway).

Bruce Tomlin Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I think point #5 is actually the most appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Moved this to the ADAM forum. I keep forgetting we have one now. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremysart Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I think point #5 is actually the most appropriate. Haha, true. They ended up reducing the price to $200 and discontinued them fairly shortly into their life span. I still love my Adam though, its a great conversation piece.
