Correction -- Semi-OT: Annual post: what tech did ya get?
I hit 'send' too soon. Sorry. Corrected post: ----------------------- It's always fun to hear what tech toys (vintage computing or not) everyone got for the holidays, whatever you celebrate. For me it was just buying a box of NOS floppies from Glitch back at Festivus :) and a pair of running shoes (not technical, but expensive!) However I'm very excited about some new toys which may be museum-bound!!!! I can't announce them until January, sorry. :)

And non-vintage tech I received the Harmony Elite to replace my aging harmony remote (old one didn't do Bluetooth amongst other things) Tony
I got bluetooth headphones that can connect to phone, PC or laptop. They are pretty good quality, not as good as Bose, but better than average. They are made by Mpow. Also bought for myself a 1541 Ultimate II device from Alex J. It is a 1541 emulator using an SD card. I also got a portable air compressor called AirHawk.

I got a Weller WESD51, so I don't have to use my 1980s pencil iron with zero temperature control any more. It was time I upgraded. -Alexander 'Z' Pierson On Wednesday, December 27, 2017, 7:56:56 PM EST, Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote: I got bluetooth headphones that can connect to phone, PC or laptop.
