Re: Hello?

Yeah already some good tips there! I'd also suggest to check out local flea markets, garage sales, estate sales and such. The thing is that most people who sell an item on the internet check out something like ebay for prices first and thus often have rather steep ideas for a final price. People at ...

Re: Your favorite vintage non-palmtop computer?

I used to have one of these and always tried to justify using it by finding a way to program a killer app. Best i could come up with was a database for my VHS collection. Which honestly was not so much ahead of a sheet of paper. XD I always hated these for the display, so I'd be curious to hear abou...

Re: Your favorite vintage non-palmtop computer?

Well if a unit is rare and historically important then i got no problem with high prices. But for the Apple II i think one should take into account that Over 6 million units were sold (if you count all Variations like II Plus, IIC and so on). So even if 90% of these went to the trash (unlikely) that...

Re: Your favorite vintage non-palmtop computer?

Well the iMac G3 is only worth fixing if you seriously plan to use it. Personally i really still like the old G3/G4 12 inch iBooks. Back in the days they were really neat laptops - rather small and light, pretty nice screen, a lovely design (I do like simple designs!) and halfway durable (Not really...

Re: Flaws of the F-07C

I have the extended "Mugen" battery - which imho is definitely a "must have" unelss you only have the device for bragging or a few cheap laughs. I mean with the standard battery you can do some stuff like "quickly checking an excel file" or such, but it is far from bein...

Re: Your favorite vintage non-palmtop computer?

Hmmmm, if they start making weird noises then that's usually the beginning of the end... :oops: Never had an imac, but i had some ibook G3 and G4. At least these used rather inexpensive 2,5" IDE drives that were rather cheap to replace. Ah the horror of re-installing an old Mac OSX from 4 CD-RO...

Let's build the perfect palmtop with todays tech...

This is a thought I've had since ages. If we were to built the perfect palmtop with todays tech - how would we design it, what features would it have and how would we do it? There is no answer. Well not a single one since every person got a different oppinion and different preferences. So let's sum ...

Re: Your favorite vintage non-palmtop computer?

you can use literally ANY IDE drive You do have a point seeing how old IDE drives for some reason are extremely expensive. Despite being 30+ years old :!: Yeah -especially some smaller and really old ones like in the range between 40 and 200 MB can be ridiculously expensive because they are so rare...
