Just a nit:
The display is Electro-Luminescent.  At the time the Integral was
developed, there were no LCD displays large enuf to display 24x80 of
text.  Of course, it also is capable of simple B/W graphics.
(Actually that's B/O for Black and Orange :-)

When I bought my Amiga1000, my decision was between the Integral, the
Atari and the Amiga.  The Atari lost because it is not multi-tasking
or expandable.  The Amiga came out less expensive than the Integral
and offered color.  The Integral offered Unix.  The Integral also
offered better reliability than the Amiga, but I didn't know that at
the time.
