isPermaLink="false">http://www.geardiary.com/?p=48639#comment-49775</guid> <description>I have an old Dell Dimension I got at least 7 years ago from the Dell outlet, it was a leased return, so it is at least 9 years old.
Next I use my Dell Axim x51v every day, and often.
I tried selling my X5 on Craig&#039;s list, but had a no show and some inquirers suddenly go silent, so I gave up. I eventually recommissioned it for my 6 year old son as a gaming device. I have all the old games I play on it when I used the X5, and some I&#039;ve gotten since (mostly free games).
I also have a Garmin Palm GPS. It is about 5 years old. I&#039;ve only encountered 2 mapping errors; my father-in-laws block is not on the map (it goes from 1100s to the 900s and totally skips all the 1000s), and I355 &amp; I55 have changed their connections, so that whole area is goofed up on my GPS. Otherwise I have not had any problems with it.
I have this old Korean LG TV, the OSD is in Korean, so I can&#039;t read it. I got this from where I worked, a group came over from Korea to help us get a head start on a new project, and they brought 2 TVs. They left them, and when we downsized, I won the pool for one of them.
It is better than any other analog TV I&#039;ve ever had.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have an old Dell Dimension I got at least 7 years ago from the Dell outlet, it was a leased return, so it is at least 9 years old.</p><p>Next I use my Dell Axim x51v every day, and often.</p><p>I tried selling my X5 on Craig&#8217;s list, but had a no show and some inquirers suddenly go silent, so I gave up.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.geardiary.com/?p=48639#comment-49767</guid> <description>I tend to collect for awhile, then purge.  My last purging included:
Tandy 1400LT (working, no battery)
Tandy 1400FD (not working)
Tandy 1400HD (not working)
Tandy 2800HD (working, no battery)
Zenith SuperSport 286 (not working)
2 - IBM PCJrs (1 working, 1 not)
Packard Bell Statesman 200M (working, no battery)
ITC 286 &quot;Cellular&quot; Laptop (not working)
The ITC was interesting.  It originally came with an analog cellular modem.  The concept apparently tanked, and they sold them later without the modem, but they still had the jacks for a cellular handset.  They weighed a ton, partly because they had full-sized ISA expansion slots, and ran on 2 12-volt camcorder batteries.
But I still have my Kaypro 1, which despite the name was not the first version.  &quot;Non Linear Systems&quot; built the first Kaypro II, using &quot;II&quot; to make people think it was an established model.  (That&#039;s the same reason there was no &quot;dBase 1&quot;)  The Kaypro 1, 10, and &quot;Robie&quot; were the last CP/M machines built in 1984 before Kaypro went DOS.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I tend to collect for awhile, then purge.

I have 8 years old 30&quot; CRT TV as my only TV (will probably be replaced in next couple of months), then I still use 10 years old 17&quot; CRT monitor connected to my home server (it&#039;s switched off most of the time, but there are things you can&#039;t do via RDP) and I still use my 2004 Qtek 2020 (HTC Himalaya) - not as a phone anymore, but as an alarm clock and music player. The funny thing is that Himalaya (originaly Windows Mobile Phone Edition 2003 device) is running new Windows Mobile 6.5 and my current phone/PDA the shiny new Touch Pro 2 is still on Windows Mobile 6.1.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hm, let&#8217;s see.<br
