I wonder if I could do my job from a Wyse ASCII terminal and a Nokia 3210.

Retro-dreaming now.

I often enjoy looking for retro tech on Vinted and eBay and have recently been thinking how nice the Psions were and how cool they’d be to use today 😊

Oh hey! How you doing??

Yeah. This sounds fun. Are there Palm Pilots out there?

There’s lots of fun retro stuff going on out there too. I have an expansion board plugged in to my Spectrum now which can load software from Compact Flash (well technically anything with an IDE interface). I love the ingenuity that’s out there.

For sure. I got an Analogue Pocket for Gameboy stuff and it’s really clever. People are doing wild stuff with retro computing. It’s AWESOME!!!

As very nice! I’ve got a Gameboy Pocket and slowly expanding my collection of Gameboy cartridges. I love things like the Analogue Pocket - I can quite easily get lost down these rabbit holes. I’ve bought a Psion Series 3a off eBay in the end - fingers crossed it’s not awfully broken 😂

Doing well thank you! Yourself??
Oh yes absolutely! Thing is this tech is just starting to get to the point where it’s nostalgic and so prices are going up! I’d love an Acorn machine of any kind but they’re so expensive - especially the BBC Micros and Archimedes!

Yeah, I’m good. Joined you on the EV journey a while back. And now employed!! Eek!!

Ah yes I recall you mentioning the EV - hope that’s working out well. And yes, super great on the job too! I changed jobs back last April after a very long time. We should catch up sometime!
