[CCTALK] Good Trip / good Score

Just did a trip to BC from Central Manitoba. That's in Canada, eh, Yank. Thanks to Alex W. I picked up a Dec Rainbow+ w/color card and a DEC VR240 and a DEC printer and some PS/2 stuff. Finally I have one as a DEC Rainbow should be - in color In Vancouver I hit the mother lode. I had also arranged to pick up there an Osborne I w/manuals, software, and a 12"x12" Summa graphics Tablet w/4 directional mouse. Also a box of viginal 8" diskettes. Van is great for yard sales and also they do a spring garbage blow-out. PICKIN" TIME !! An Amiga 1000 that I almost missed cause it was still in it's styro pkgng. Same garbage, a clean C-64C with PSU, nice 1802 , and a 1541 fdd. Mac keyboard, LT mouse, large wheel mouse, box of C64 disks, Lloyds TV Sports Gamer, and passed on a Tandy ARM at $15 (which I now regret.) 3x IBM newer PS/2 machines and an integrated AST, several 15' SVGA monitors. A box with about 50 TRS-80 zines A box of Intellivision carts and about 8 Adam tapes, A SHARP PC 3000. After cleaning out the battery compartment and using new batteries it worked. DOS 3.1 w/a pcmcia card whose Li. battery is surely dead as is the notepad's. And many non-computer items. The Sharp 3k is a neat little 8088 handheld about the size of an Atari Portfolio. Sharp brought it out after high sales of it's Poqet but retreated when some of the heavier-duty co's. attacked that market Based on the numerous site info it's a great machine related somehow to the HP95. At least it can use the HP PCMCIA's if I understood correctly.( IIUC) Anyone here a fan of this hand-held ? Lawrence lgwalker(a)mts.net bigwalk_ca(a)yahoo.com
