Obsession with Handheld Computers
Preserving the handheld heritage of the computer revolution.
In the last post of 2021 I decided to make an update to my previous post New and sealed (August of 2021).
The most noticeable recent acquisitions are:
I’m glad to present you my new article. This article describes UNIX utilities I use to collect information about handheld computers. You will find here tips how to clone websites, download webpages, YouTube videos, Google books, files from SourceForge, etc. Other collectors may find this overview interesting and useful, so I decided to share. Please note that I run all the mentioned utilities in GNU/Linux. I’ve no information whether they support other operating systems (Windows, macOS).
Somebody may ask, "What do all these handheld computers have in common?". These handhelds are brand new and sealed.
I hung my first display case for handheld computers above my desk. That was 4 years ago.
After moving to a new apartment earlier this year, I had enough free space for a much larger display cabinet. Now this display cabinet stores the major part of my collection.
Now I know exactly how big my collection is. It’s just one cubometer.
