[vcf-midatlantic] Trade / wish list for the Feb 26th swap meet?

[Dave Shevett]

Hi Andrew, yes, that's me!

I think you mean a Palm TX, right?  They were very nice.

I may argue that the Clie NX60 was 'peak clie' - the 'star trek
communicator' form factor with the keyboard on the lower half and the
screen on top, reversible, etc - they were great (i have an NX60)

The N810s were extremely nice.  I have two N770's (here's my writeup
on them: https://planet-geek.com/2019/08/16/vintagehandhelds/nokia-n770-linux-tablet/
) but would love the N810 for the 'next step'

I have a Zaurus SL5500, the 5600 IIRC isn't much different... they're
wonderful machines.  I was active in the Zaurus community (helped run
the Zaurus Software Index).  Having a linux machine in my hand that I
could ssh into over wifi was amazing.

Honestly, I'd be ecstatic to add your gear to my collection.  I love
bringing these machines to shows and letting people play around with
how things were before iPhones took over the world :)
