The battery lead has gone on my 3c and I never got round to getting a 
replacement.  It was the only PDA that I regularly used.  I have got a 
5mxPro too, but that's mainly because I wrote some of the software for 
the Series 5 (which is also why I was getting excited about the Netbook 
the other night, I hadn't seen that web browser in years :-)

Yeah, my A500 is in my parents loft still.  Along with a couple of Texas 
Instruments TI-99/4As.

I had an SGI Indy as my only computer for a while in the late 90s/early 
2000s - lovely machines and such cool cases.  SGI went all Windows and 
Intel IIRC and have faded away.  Real shame.

I've also got a Commodore 128 with a 1541 disk drive sat in my front 
room if anyone wants it?
