What was the answer?

I voted for the speaking clock, but since this is the computer section, is it A 2-GHz Pentium Computer? (why do i feel stupid thinking it`s a computer?) :lol:

i voted for charley's first computer as it looks a bit fancy for a pit card machine, a bit early for a speaking clock, definitly not a 2 ghz pentium although it could be a music box but looks to be a bit complicated for that!

Are you on drugs?

Yes, and it says Bayer on the box. :D

In the case of the box in the picture it used to say Hewlett-Packard.
