A very interesting home-brew mechanical robot from the 1960s. Less than 9
hours left as of this writing. Perhaps someone local can purchase and
preserve it?
I'm trying to find a museum somewhere that can take it.
Perhaps Ed Sharpe can find a way to acquire it?

New subject: ANT TC-5000 Thin Client Terminal Purchase
I couldn't help myself and purchase a pair of TC-500 Thin Client Terminals.
233Mhz CPU, 32MB RAM, 2-Serial, LAN, and VGA.
Running Windows CE..
However to my dismay they only have Citrix ICA as a client, and I have a
Windows 2000 Server..
I know nothing about Citrix, but from my searching, it's not compatible with
my Windows 2000 Server.
Question:
(1) Is it even worth my buying the Citrix Metaframe software to run on my
Windows Server ?
(2) Would it be better to upgrade the Internal ROM to the newer version
($50) that has ICA, Plus RDP 5.1 ?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated..

Not to be rude or anything... but you might try a different mailing
list/newsgroup. WinTerms are neither classic(old) or that unique...
There are plenty of other PC/Windows related mailing lists/newsgroups
out there to help you with your question, filled with people that are
generally more knowledgable about that sort of thing.
I'm just trying to help; I'm a bit more forgiving than some of the other
list members are... :)

Nice! I use a few of those (not the same brand, but thin
clients)
and its nice and quiet :)

Yes. That should also get you Telnet, so you
can connect to
UNIX and VMS hosts in text mode.

Thanks Fred..
I Apperciate your answer, even though this is off topic as Pat pointed out.
Just thought there were some pretty knowledgeble people here that could give
some input on my find,
and know way more than I about Thin Clients.
Although I guess these do not classify as "Classic or Unique", I'm still
having fun with them (Grin)
I did find on eBay some more TC-5000 Thin Clients with RDP 5.1 installed.
At $40 each a little pricey just to play and learn on, but I'm in to deep
now to quit..
Telnet to Unix and Linux is a big plus also...
Thanks again..

Well, I use "offtopic" Xterms to talk to "ontopic" systems, so, as
a whole, they're ontopic, I figure ;-)

Hmm, $40 is a good price for em... I paid more like $80-100 for
mine.

Looks like he was trying to copy the drive section on the
famous robot "Shakey".
I'm not sure of the dates. Looks like the kids 'bot came first.
He really needed a friend with a computer to make it really
be a robot though.
