As it looks less and less likely that we’ll be seeing the Apple Phone here in Canada anytime soon, I’ve rebuilt my lust for the Nokia E61. On the bright side, Apple hype might even drive prices down on eBay.
Ange is cleaning out clutter like mad at Casa Del Thrust, which has oddly resulted in me having more things to go through, since she’s found boxes of long-forgotten stuff including an issue of Color Computer magazine from the early ’80s. The CoCo I was my first computer, and I’m tempted to get one to mess around with, but the fun would probably wear off in a day or so, and I’m not interested in something that I have to hook up to a TV (though it looks like you can get a VGA interface and a PC keyboard adapter for them now, so KVM isn’t out of the question.)
A more practical option would be to use an emulator. There’s an online one you can try, and I spent a few minutes last night trying out some of the downloadable ones (many haven’t graduated from DOS mode).
Now, going back to the E61 (remember how we started?), I think the award for coolest ever would be a CoCo emulator running on my phone. Hey, the thing already can run MAME, so why not?
