Very interesting.  He probably simply didn't know and wasn't able to 
spend long enough with the machine to learn this.

In playing around he got some rap lyrics in there and some 2001 script, 
so he seems to have given it at least a good hacking about.

A shame he missed the learning aspect, but he's not so much a product 
reviewer as giving a glimpse at an interesting bit of technology 
history, and mostly to an audience who's never worked with such a tool.

He also didn't explain how he got his hands on one of the devices.
