-The '''Mark I''' is a computer hardware platform in production by [[Sei Computing]]. It features a wide variety of software and realistic, immersive operation.
+The '''Mark 1''' (previously '''Mark I''') is a computer hardware platform in development by [[NBS]]. It is the first and only fully-functional graphical computer capable of operating entirely on LSL.

 ==Origins==
-The Mark I was first spawned in December 2011 by [[Nelson Jenkins]] with assistance from [[Will Szymborska]]. The idea of an individual-character display was thrown around for years, but wasn't technically feasible until recently due to newer LSL functions and mesh construction possibilities. [[Adel Button]] assisted by designing the character display object, which was scripted in only a few hours late at night. The first design ever displayed on the Mark I display was a green SeiOS dialog box with a drop shadow. The casing and peripherals were made in the following weeks, along with the core of SeiOS.
