Flashback to 1982: Roger Badertscher, along with a rebellious Atari gang, took an ambitious plan and left Atari in the rearview. Enter Mindset - not just your run-of-the-mill PC, but one that dared to outshine IBM's PC in style and pizzazz.

Beyond its flamboyant facade, Mindset boasted possibly the first-ever graphics accelerator, making pixels pop at speeds IBM's CGA could only dream of. Rumor has it Mindset could've taken the place of the Atari ST if not for Jack Tramiel's vendetta against Commodore. But what is especially interesting about the machine, is its main use case. Curious?

Brad aka @TechTimeTravel took the opportunity and dedicated a video to the machine and its history. It's been a year ago already, but it's a good thing he did because both the hardware and the company didn't end up too well. A hard crash landing in the 1986-87 timeline.

Ah, the rollercoaster of tech lore!
