    Dang, your ability to find and unearth even more lost articles never ceases to amaze me! Just when I think I know all there is about a certain topic, you come along with a new discovery! I love how I'm always learning new things 🥰

    Its crazy how ahead of its time this could've been! Coming back 10 year's later down the line is proof of that!

    There's an alternate universe where this became a thing and we are all now still using a modern version of pageboy

    Imagine an alternate history where this actually came out and flourished! That would have been nuts.

    This was ahead of its time. It would have been so revolutionary.

    So the man basically came up with humanity's entire lifestyle 20 years later, including DLC for games

    Fascinating video! I like these deep dives into topics I'm not familiar with.

    This is probably the dopest shit found from a prototype like this! So much can be traced back to this!

    Amazing. So far ahead of its time!

    This is really fascinating, I had never heard of this before! I can understand a few reasons why it didn't finalize, but it's really interesting to learn about stuff like this. Super ambitious

  • @Rob-hb7wh

    I knew nothing about workboy or really anything about the og Gameboys add-ons (og gameboy was just before my time), but this story and was son interesting! The fact the workboy seems to work so well really makes me think it was an unbelievably missed opportunity
