Durosity’s conquests and collection

[Durosity]

I have a MessagePad 2000 I need to actually get using first though.

I’ve never seen a 2000/2100 in the flesh! Would love to get one one day!

Note it does 1080p, so a good fit for modernish LCDs

I seldom use LCDs with my vintage stuff.. I try to keep to period specific displays! That said this card works well with my 21” Apple CRT!

I'll bring it along to the meetup.

Awesome!

Oh I was gonna ask.. I still have that LWII if you want me to bring it along? If not don’t worry, don’t wanna force it on you.. just seemed like the ideal time if you did want it!

Well done. Time to get a Mac TV next. And a G4 Cube

 

[Durosity]

Well I already have a cube..

Mac TV is a difficult one.. it was a miracle being able to get the LC 520.. I expect any Mac TV would become a surprise jigsaw puzzle in shipping.

Maybe I could paint my 520?

welcome to the Ambitious Cock-up Collector's Club! Next up, a Lisa... ;-)

 

[Durosity]

I’d love a Lisa. One day.. one day.

 

[Durosity]

Not a Lisa, but I did get a nice wee surprise today. Bought a rough looking Se and SE/30 a couple of weeks ago. I wasn’t entirely sure if they worked or not, or if it was even an SE/30 as the bucket seemed to be that of a SE. Well got them unpacked today and wow they’re dirty.. but beautifully working (the PSU on the SE is a bit dodgy but should be a fairly easy fix). The SE/30 was indeed a working, non battery bombed unit, and the SE had a PDS network card in it! SCORE!

 

[cheesestraws]

Nice one!

 

[Durosity]

Nice one!

I really have to stop buying stuff.. I literally have nowhere to store stuff at present!

 

[cheesestraws]

I recommend taking up software projects; they're rather smaller ;-)

 

[Durosity]

You’re saying I should start collecting big box software? Excellent idea……..

@Durosity You can have your cake and eat it too if you collapse the boxes and store them flat.
