    Free Programming Books

    While cleaning up the garage yesterday, I stumbled upon two programming books my wife used when she was going through college back in the late 1980's. She does not want these books, so we're offering them for free (you pay shipping from Florida, US). The titles are: Essentials of COBOL...

    Won a HP 100LX on eBay!

    W00t! Got it for a good price too. I'm not sure if it really qualifies as "vintage", but it should be fun to play around with (and it actually made PC World's "The 25 Greatest PCs of All Time"): http://www.pcworld.com/article/126692-3/the_25_greatest_pcs_of_all_time.html (Images from the...

    XGameStation

    I've been looking at this for the past year or so, but keep talking myself out of buying it. It isn't expensive (around $129.00 US), I just don't think I have the time to devote to learning it, no matter how cool it looks and sounds. Has anyone else checked this out...
