| daftykins | hi, my name is dafty and I... am addicted to buying cheap older generation laptops off ebay during the holidays. | 22:16 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | It has been... *gulp* mere hours since my last purchase | 22:16 |
| daftykins | at least one is for a friends kid for Christmas, i swear! | 22:17 |
| zxmpi | you're going to leave it in a basket outside their door with a note 'my name is lenny...' knock and run :-P | 22:46 |
| daftykins | hah | 22:46 |
| * zxmpi with the psion 3mx and 2 palm devices :-D | 22:47 | |
| daftykins | oh boy, i kinda would have liked to have tried out a Psion 5 at some point - they looked so cool | 22:47 |
| zxmpi | they are very cool. i preferred the psion 3 keyboards so when i went looking a few years back i went with a psion 3 instead of a 5. the 5 is more powerful with a bigger screen and a stylus for drawing but the 3 apps are good enough for me | 22:49 |
| daftykins | ah ha | 22:49 |
| zxmpi | the spreadsheet and word processor max out with 40k or so documents but it just makes you create spreadsheets and documents more carefully | 22:50 |
| zxmpi | the psion 5 can create massive docs and spreadsheets and embed them in other docs the way windows used to claim it could but would crash if you tried | 22:51 |
| zxmpi | and i mainly use the psion as a password store and for it's agenda (still the best diary app ever written) and get a year out of batteries | 22:52 |
| daftykins | hmm i can see the perks of an unencrypted login store | 22:56 |
| zxmpi | psion is password protected, spreadsheet is password protected. good luck breaking in :-) | 22:57 |
| daftykins | hah probably trivial by now | 22:57 |
| zxmpi | you just have to find someone with the hardware to connect to psion and then find serial port is turned off. so need to beat 1 password to turn that on. if they have the file i suspect it can be broken but they are written in code inside the spreadsheet so even with it unencrypted they'd be useless | 22:59 |
| zxmpi | and the number of people with the knowhow to break into psion has deminished somewhat i suspect :-) | 22:59 |
| daftykins | :D | 23:01 |
| zxmpi | and they'd of course be delayed by regaling everyone with a 3hour story of their first psion while doing so :-D | 23:03 |
| daftykins | very true | 23:12 |
| daftykins | and that'd be their evening ruined once they rediscovered Horace and went for "a quick game" | 23:12 |
| * penguin42 would have to find his soap-on-a-rope | 23:52 | |
