Had some business in Flint today, so we stopped by the thrift store. Nothing much to report, found a new toy robot and another Billy Bass to add to the collection. The Billy is a little different from the others, has on a Sanity Clause hat and sings Jingle Bells, et. al. The real score of the day, a spankin' new pair of Nike Shocks for six bucks (woohoo!). I know they are neither vintage nor computer, but they were designed by or with the assistance of a computer, so that's close enough for me!

I found a really nice 5" portable tube-type television for my C=64 at a goodwill session.

All the smoke recently came out of my (very small) B&W set that I kept for the T/S 1000, but the vintage color set (much heavier, 'specially with 10 D cells installed) that I use for everything else still works fine. Only complaint I have with that one is that it has no direct vid inputs, just crappy looking RF. :( I also have a much newer LCD color box with video that is a lot nicer and runs on 4 C cells, but still, it just ain't the same.
