Wow--some of these pics are bringing back memories of the day!

I remember the PDA wars. Seemed liked every company made one: Sony, Microsoft, Dell, Palm and HP are several I could remember. I had a Palm and thought it was just the coolest thing! Loved it for having Tetris and also a few Slot Games! :)

I think I threw my Palm against a wall. The stupid thing died after 2 hours. It was a horrible phone. On second thought, I might still have it in the shed. If so, I'll post a pic later. LOL

Looks like it may have a floppy cable and a 40 pinner in there along with the new stuff. I used to love computers - worked in a computer store as a tech while in school, was a lot of fun.

This old TV is a 1967 tube TV and I found it in the dump, bad flyback maybe because when I powered it up, the TV almost smoked up, but the audio works, so it is a valve TV and its an AWA :p, needs a new flyback, so has anyone got a flyback from a TV this size that I can have?

I think, you chose the wrong name. You should be "Nathan, the technology lover". ;-)

I have posted a couple of these images in the past. I used items as "What is it?" Challenges. The display is at thecMueseum of London. Out of all of these objects, the only one we owned was the Trimphone. It was modern. We had it at the end of the 1960s.

The trimphone is the off white instrument on the left.
