Darn. Wow.
Canada Computers just got a graphic update. To all of us geeks in TO, that’s a household name. It’s up there with Sonnam, Jnetronic, and PCUsed. Now the site has thumbnails to all their products. Oooooo. Drool.
There’s a Sandisk Ultra II SD card on sale for $109 - 1 GB! Jeez. Two years ago I had to pay that much for a measly 256. Technology moves much too fast in this world. Not that it’s a bad thing; I just wish the value on "vintage" products go up too. My Little IPAQ 1940, which I love, and adore for its little compact body, is no longer available new from any merchant anywhere. The retail listed price for it was $399 US back in its heyday - haha, two years back, not that I paid that much mind you - and now you can probably find one hocked on Craigslist for under $150 CDN.
First I was going gaga for the Tungster T3. Now I’ve seen the light - I’m more of a PPC person than a Palm person. As in, I’m more of a nerd than I care to admit. I’d rather have a machine I can hack than a machine that has more apps is touted to be much more user-friendly. Now I’m drooling over this little baby / monster of a PPC - the Asus MyPal A730W. That isn’t a PPC! That’s a mini laptop! It has a 1.3 mp cam, microphone & speaker (duplex record/playback), earphones jack, 520 mhz? That’s more power than my computer back in 1997! 640 by 480 display? What will they think of next?
Now somebody give me one of those and that SD card on sale and I’ll be one happy little girl.
