AWESOME the last time I was there. He was never really open to the
public, but a group of us would go every weekend and drop way too much coin.
I can believe it. 90$ for a Jornada??!
Incidentally 6 months ago or a bit more someone on the list was clearing out their
storage unit and was offering boxes in this category. Chicago area I think.

I once bought a Jornada for no other reason than to impress the woman I
was out on a lunch date with. I think I used it twice. It was the dotcom
days. I had more money than sense. I still have the stupid thing in a
drawer somewhere. The date went ok though.

Met $cutegirl at concert. Chatted, shared laughs. Good signs.
Outside later, walking to our separate cars, I dare to ask for a phone
#. It was offered. Huzzah. Pull out PDA (thinking back to what year
this should have been, probably a Handspring Visor,) prepare to take
down the digits. $cutegirl notices PDA. "Ohh, my mom has one of
those!"
I think this is where the kids paste the "forever alone" guy in their thread.
(I did get her number, though.)

When that happens to me, it's usually so that she can try to fix me up
with her mom.

I didn't get consumer toys from this place. I usually scored high-end
test equipment, VAXen, and at least one Cray. (nearly all of which I
still have) They only (comparatively) recently started up an eBay
operation. In general they are extremely reasonable.
