RIP my beauty, you had so much potential!

I'm slav and if I know I'll never have have use for it again, I sell it. My grandpa on other hand, Pole, has hoarded his whole life cheap chink shit. He had like 3 cheap drills and old, solid, reliable Narex one, that's working for 30+ years, that he almost threw out or give away few times, and only person who used it was me, and I have it in my possession luckily now.
You know, what Narex was producing when stalinists were in power was top-notch, you won't ever be able to buy something new when you tried their old products. Not to mention that germs bought Narex when our government sold everything our country every had with market "opening", the glorious privatization, even after what happened in Chile. Fuck.

PDAs were great. Are there any other handheld UIs besides Matchbox? Wish there was a re-implementation of Windows CE or PalmOS. Most handhelds are a full computer like the GPD. Though PocketCHIP was pretty close to the ultimate /cyber/ experience imo.
The Cybiko actually had a fantastic ad-hoc messaging system that worked over the 900mhz ISM band. Amazing tech at the time that still hasn't been quite replicated to this day.

Selling it is a lot better than just up and throwing it out. That way you at least get some sort of value out of it and someone else can enjoy it.

Any PDA you could use (assuming the battery holds more than 10 minutes worth of charge) is likely less powerful than any smartphone ever produced so I doubt they're worth building new software for. They're essentially just toys now, which is fine by me; I hate it when old hardware happens to have some modern use, driving up prices. Some old Toshiba Satellite still sell for $100+ because older car computers only communicate with them for some reason.

meh, going to install NetBSD 9.0 on mine and use it for IRC, jabber (and maybe SIP if I get a mic) messaging

Potential for what?
Even when It was announced it just looked like trash.
If you wanted to play indieshit games, you could've gone to ich.io, if you wanted tech related stuff to fuck around with, you could've just gotten a raspberri pi or any other single board computer and done the same thing.
I mean, it's a neat little device, but it's not a suprise to why it failed

It's not about the SBC, it's about the pocket computer.
