Picked up another deal off of Facebook. Had to pay $70 for everything. Let me know how I did.
It's a passing grade if nothing else
And now, a little something to show Nupoile that I haven't been slackin':

- CIB TI Business Analyst II, $2.49
My dad had one of those when I was a kid. I always liked the way the buttons felt, they're a little different than most other buttons.....is that weird?

- Sharp Zaurus ZR-5000 PDA Personal-Organizer-Palmtop-Computer-Thingy, $4.49: I'm gonna enjoy fiddling around with this bad boy.
That's pretty great, some of those things are really cool. Played with one a little at a retro game event a couple years ago, not that one, but something similar.
Found a few things today, for all of $8 total:

A few years ago I got to play with one of these, a newer version maybe. They're pretty fun, but it's very similar to actually flying a RC plane. The controller is really close to the real life thing. If you wanted to get into RC planes, getting one of these is the way to go for practice. Don't want to smash up you multi-hundred $ RC plane first time out. Get this and learn at home.
Someone found, and posted, one of these a while ago, was it Zagnorch

On 2-13-2002 it was $130. This one seems complete and in great condition. Pretty happy about it.

Only downside: Gameport
I have a PC or two that this would work on, but they are put away and a pain to dig out. There are gameport-to-USB converters but I don't know if they will work with this. Might have to get one anyways as it's been high on my list of things 'to get' for some time now. It would make some of those old joysticks I see in the thrifts more appealing if nothing else.
There were some more games I bought yesterday but they went directly into the hands of my nephew: Raymon Raving Rabbids 2, Pokemon Dash, Mario Party, Prince of Persia. All for the DS and 3DS. Paid whatever the game store wanted for them so nothing of note there. He also had me get some sort of Pokemon Trading card pack, kids these days.....
After that we went to an arcade, but got there before it opened. So we went down the block to another place that sold games. The store had half a dozen arcade machines, games from current day all the way back to Atari, INTV and Vic20(?!), stations set up for people to play games on consoles and lan's as well as about 30 taps for beer, because it is Oregon after all and if you're ever more than a few minutes from elitist coffee or craft beer.....you're in another state. But the arcade opened up and we went in. First thing I did was have him walk up to a coin changer and as he stood in front of it, I stuck in a 20, as he stood there mesmerized I told him to fill his pockets. We had a great time. Grandpa was with us and sat at a table with a Guinness, because the arcade a block from the game store with beer, also sold beer. It's Oregon. Making sure to play some classics like Street Fighter, Mario Bros and Rampage as well as some pinball with the kid, I let him be drawn to what he liked (he's 8 ) he spent quite a bit of time playing one of the Fast and Furious/Cruis'n games (which are pretty good btw, for that sort of thing). While pinball was a hard sell, I don't know that he even knew what they were, I did actually get grandpa to play the Medieval Madness re-make
