[20:42] <diddledan> "are the rock and Dwayne Johnson twins?"
[20:50] <zmoylan-pi> the nokia 3310 v2 will have a longer battery life... /me goes to check for breakthrough in cold fusion...
[20:52] <diddledan> speaking of battery life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRCBepOHaYk
[20:56]  * zmoylan-pi rembers the laptops we had at work back then.  battery life was awful measured in minutes but most of the hardware was ancient and 2nd hand as new stuff was ridiculously expenisve
[21:00] <zmoylan-pi> xt 20mb hd and 720k floppy... epson... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-EPSON-Equity-LT-Q150A-PC-MD-DOS-Laptop-HD-not-working-/361911430161?hash=item54439a2c11:g:NUgAAOSwax5Yqj9a
[21:01] <zmoylan-pi> a really decent keyboard especially compared to todays non travelly jobbies
[21:01] <diddledan> the important bit is "not working"
[21:02] <zmoylan-pi> even they did work it often felt it would be fast to write to floppy...
[21:02] <diddledan> linus is on this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3s0_yf2mS4
[21:03] <zmoylan-pi> i seem to remember it was advanced and didn't need to have it's hd head parked before shutdown
[21:08] <diddledan> that's voodoo!
[21:08] <diddledan> I still remember having to park my hard disk heads before poweroff
[21:10] <zmoylan-pi> a few of my early hd based desktops were same way... but i'm trying to remember if any of the laptops i used had same requirement
[21:18] <zmoylan-pi> of all the laptops back then, this was my favourite. 1) it had a slide out handle to make carrying easier 2) it had a 16bit isa slot for expansion 3) built in power supply so you didn't need to carry extra brick http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/31788/Amstrad-ALT-386SX-Laptop-computer/
[23:01] <popey> diddledan: yaya
