I couldn't resist posting this, though I just declared this blog dead. Whatevs...
from the Museum of Computer History.
Kitchen Computer
1969
Neiman Marcus, United States
"The Kitchen Computer was featured in the 1969 Neiman Marcus catalog as a $10,600 tool for housewives to store and retrieve recipes. Unfortunately, the user interface was only binary lights and switches. There is no evidence that any Kitchen Computer was ever sold. Inside was a standard Honeywell 316 minicomputer, billed as the first 16-bit machine at that price from a major computer manufacturer."
