Description: In the time-capsule section of the Sony website, Sony lists the Sony Hitbit computers as the predecessors of the current Vaio machines
Pretty cool!
But, what is this Vaio Computer?
VAIO: Laptops by Sony. (considered very cool ones!)
you can type
"MSX BASIC" -msx.org -hispamsx.org -clubmsxargentino.com.ar
And that will do the trik.
VAIO: Laptops by Sony. (considered very cool ones!)
Yes, they're quite cool indeed, but Vaio isn't laptop-only. On that site are pictures of desktop Vaios as well.
Dr. Nishi is a good example of this one I think.
Yes, but he is only well-known for the MSX community. Ask a normal european guy if he knows who is Dr. Nishi.
In Japan Nishi is a very well known and respected man.
Today's Volkskrant issue (big national newspaper) has an article on the back about the Retro Game Dag in Maarssen. In the third column it mentions... Zanac and SD Snatcher. Does that count for the media challenge?

It certainly does! Could you send me a scan?
If it mentions MSX as well, I'd say it is.
