-    text: this is one of the very few WMI ever envisioned, as distinct from the MMI, which dominate the world even in this decade, and more current HMI, which are gradually replacing the MMI. No WMI ever created will ever need to be replaced.

-    text: This was almost certainly more of a publicity stunt than a real product $ the Nieman Marcus Christmas Catalogs often had some outrageously-expensive and impractical "gifts" in them, like "matching His-and-Hers aeroplanes" or "your very own life-sized Noah''s Ark replica" which no one was ever expected to actually \*buy\*, but would get people taking about "did you see that crazy thing they had in the catalog this year?" I''m sure both Honeywell and Nieman Marcus knew full well that no one in their right mind was going to pay $10K (equivalent to nearly $65K today!) for a "kitchen appliance" that required a computer-science degree to do anything with! :)

-      The picture here actually shows just the console: there''s a Wikipedia article for the machine, which shows that in addition to the console, there''s also a large-fridge-sized CPU, and something else I''m having trouble identifying.
-
-      The article also says that Chuck Moore used the machine to develop FORTH, which is pretty impressive!

-      I have seen a picture from a catalog, that seems to show that the apron was not included in the price.\
-      After paying over $10K for the computer, the apron was $26 extra!

-      This article claims that the kitchen computer came out in 1965. I don't think so.\
-      1\) $10K for this machine would have blown away the PDP-8 at $20K\
-      2\) I remember hearing about this at the time, and it was not 1965.\
-      Another site suggests Christmas 1969, which seems about right.\
