The unpacking goes on … and on … and on ……..
Since I don’t have closets to simply toss boxes into, I actually have to go through everything and deal with it. Not a bad thing. Two things found today:
* My ex-wife’s IBM Thinkpad 600 laptop, circa 1998. It has a Pentium II chip and 128 meg of RAM. It does not boot due to failures with the system board and the memory. This thing cost at least US$2,000 ten years ago. Now it’s junk. What’s the point of trying to fix this? Sigh.
* My mobile phone from the US from 1993 or 1994, a Motorola Star-Tac. A CDMA phone, one of the very first flip phones, with a two line LED screen. In its heyday it was the epitome of cool (at least if you were a geek). It’s small. Maybe I’ll hold onto it.
