I couldn't really figure it out from the post, either.  I was thinking
it ws a case made of Lego.  From the subject header, I had thought it
was going to be some obscure prototype, and I was picturing some relatively
small "brick" that had a full blown computer of some sort in it.

I thought one of the toy manufacturers was named Tomi or something like
that.  So I thought maybe it was one of those toy computers that emulated
an Apple II.
