what have you written for it?
mirrorbird(23:41:03)
that's not what i mean, plenty of wasteful consumer-types also like 'retro' (while it's fashionable) and then probably landfill it afterwards

Probably none of us would be on nectarine if we didn't like the old stuff, right?

Having to write an entire software ecosystem for it is a bonus Well, if I actually make time to do it...

it's bad enough with modern stuff, i get really upset when they 'recycle' a perfectly fine server bc they got a newer one. this should not be allowed.

I have more useful machines (HP 200LX, Book 8088 etc) but I was looking for something cheaper and more easily replaceable.

i hate disposing of anything that still works. whether i need it or not (bring on the old jokes about the ZX80 as doorstopper)

Haha this is my "poor man's Z88". Those are rare and coveted stateside, while a mailstation is ewaste prices because there's very little software for it
