It feels like i didn’t have the VII for a solid year before the service got turned off. The iPAQ had a docking sleeve for a cf wireless card. That was when i felt like a mad pimp. 🤓

I had the Palm VII, which had a mobile data connection and an antenna you would flip up. I felt like a god. When i “upgraded” to the Compaq ipaq i felt that the world was my oyster!

Now i hate my phone.

Dude needs to update to the latest Moodle. Looks less like a Geocities inspired html abortion.

Sounds like a fun project. As other commenter stated, those brackets really make the best use of an old case. Can’t think of a better solution for that. For power, you can grab one of those 200w USB power/charger adapters, put it in the case and feed the power cable out the back. Might look a little janky, though.

Good luck! Let’s see what you come up with!

Hey, kinda unrelated but related…

I had an ant problem and read about mixing borax with flour and sugar to make a dough. Roll this dough in to little balls, about the size of a BB, and leave a bunch near the ant sources. They go crazy for the stuff and take it back to their nest. Except borax kills them in quick order. I was skeptical, but damn it if it didn’t work like a champ. Good luck… they can be resilient!

Drats! Oh well, nipples it is then!

You had me at “eat it”. What’s it taste like?

True. Tough if you’re wearing hats!

I don’t know… between that massive bezel and taking up the gpio power, that’s kind of a drag. Price is right, however. And i’m sure my petty issues don’t speak for the masses!

I was just listening to a few tracks from Lead Into Gold, which is Paul Barker’s latest gig. Smooth stuff with those drums you want.
