Whenever I'm down in the dumps I get something new...
Which was taken literally by me yesterday, when I was disposing of a car battery in the local recycling centre.
I saw in the TV bin a big broadcast monitor, JVC with no RGB input. Also too heavy for me to lift out.
However, in a spectacular twist to the story, there was an Apple Mac in there too!
One of these
No keyboard, mouse or power supply though.
I've passed it to Kerbdog for his collection, it appeared dry and rattle free, but he's going to let it dry out before seeing if it will power on.0 -

Its a Macintosh SE - no keyboard/mouse but it should still turn on if it isn't knackered. Will open it before powering it on, awaiting on a long torx screwdriver in the post
What they look like when working;

Wow, same here. Complete with daisywheel printer. It really wasn’t the 386 rival I hoped it to be

I had been using Nokia smartphones since 2003 and the Nseries blew the iPhone out of the water, it annoyed me when people think the iPhone is one of the first smartphones. The Communicator phones were also out way before then and the Eseries was also a slightly more affordable business oriented smartphone.
(used to be a big Nokia fanboy in the day. The N95 8GB was one of the best phones I've ever owned. One of the few phones that does everything right)

The N95 was a serious phone back in the day! I could never afford it so all I had was a N70
The N97 was the last nokia phone I had before I switched to the HTC TYTN 2.
I used to love phones back then. Each had it's own "killer feature"
Now they are all pretty much a design standard. I have the Pixel 2 at the moment and it's fairly superb.0 -

Packages finally arrived from Japan. Unfortunately the modem box was a bit squashed and creased and two of the CD cases have small cracks in them. The keyboard has a bit of water damage that wasn't shown in the listing but is light enough that is only cosmetic.
Thought these were kinda quirky so wanted to pick them up

I am guilty of buying another repro... I'm sorry....
This time it's Metalstorm, an excellent title from Taito, on the Famicom.
It's like a combination of Cybernator/Assault Suits Valken and VVVVVV.

You're dead right, IREM it is.
I'll probably pick up a proper copy along the way.
I also have one of these ordered.
Supposed to be very good indeed.
I'll have to get an adaptor so I can use it with the Famicom and Twin consoles though.

Here's the get I hinted at when I got my tape deck,
FM: Possible 2
- a Sega Mega Drive chiptune compilation on cassette featuring current chiptune artists who still create tracks in that format.
You can listen to or buy the compilation here:

My lovely Retro-bit Power Stick arrived this morning, for the NES.
Looks lovely, hopefully will work a treat.
Seems that an adapter to let me use it on the Famicom/Twin is hard to find.
If any enterprising regular fancies making me one I'd be happy to compensate them!
edit: Actually, it might be easier to just install a Famicom cable from an existing 3rd Party controller I have at home.
Must take it apart and take a look, so how easy/hard it might be.0 -
