Just two things of note this weekend from an
otherwise ordinary Computer show but both good
enough to mention IMHO.
I found the what was likely the most obsolete
machine in the show, and it met my needs very
well.
Norand/Intermec PenKey 660 "pentop"
Had all of the following: touchscreen,
Win3.1 pen support, PCMCIA, std Kbd port,
Embedded Intermec barcode scanner, modem,
working battery, included PSU ....$50
-- finally ends my search for Win/Pen
extensions and adds an Intermec scanner
to the toolkit
Digital cameras for $25
Jamcam 3 with: 640x480, removable media,
USB, rs232, flash, override menus.
-- A machine cheap enough to hack into a
removable lens camera. Up to now the
cheapest digicams found were $75.
In case you've been looking for similar items,
the sellers had more supply and I saved phonenumbers
for both.
