Zoomer :) It is still working :)
"The Casio Z-7000, XL7000, Tandy Z-PDA and AST Gridpad 2390 are all the same machine, the Zoomer. The XL-7000 does not include AOL, or other US specific documents.
The machine was engineered by Casio, Palm Computing, Datalight and Geoworks. Casio designed the hardware and ROM BIOS. Datalight provided it's ROM-DOS v3.31. Palm Computing provided most of the applications that run on the Zoomer as well as the handwriting recognition (PalmPrint). Geoworks provided Geoworks v2.0 and also provides development software for the Zoomer in it's SDK."
Windows 98, refurbed Compaq Presario 5686 (Pentium III) with a $5 thrift store monitor. It knew what day it was, but the clock was off by 40 minutes or so.
My next project is to fire up my very first computer...I think it's around here somewhere.

This heap of old american seconds was visible outside the library of the Community college in Grenada. There was some reluctance to part with all this junk.
Here it is, my first picture on Flickr. It's my new nerdy man-cave. I moved my stuff here a little over a week ago, and now I have more space than in my room. I agree, it is a little more open than other man-caves, but that's because I'm only 15. On the left tabletop is an RC Car (I also have a bunch of those) I set up with a wireless video camera that streams to my laptop. As you can see, this place is already starting to get messy.
I made these in about 1980 I think. You can actually buy these for real now. I was ahead of my time...
Noah had held onto the MicroDock I gave him for his Duo 230, which added an ethernet port onto the machine. Happily, he also still had all the right drivers installed on the machine, which meant I was able to get it onto the internet! Amazing. It was a good thing, too; getting it onto the network turned out to be the only way we were able to get his files off of the laptop.
For the past decade, Noah has moved about half a dozen times, each time carting along his *three* old Macs -- a Powerbook Duo 230, a PowerMac 7100/66, and an SE/30. We decided it was time to get the data off of them and put 'em out of their misery.
"Ordinary audio cassettes cannot be used, they are not of sufficient quality to reliably store computer data.
Coleco sold high quality tapes specifically made for the Adam, capable of withstanding the high-speed 20 ips (inches per second) read/write and 80 ips rewind speeds.
SmartBASIC is one of many applications and games available on "Adam High Speed Digital Data Pack".
The Adam also has a cartridge slot on top to accept and play all ColecoVision game cartridges. "

Most of the things on my Apple //e are actual physical objects rather than data.
A Super Mario Soft Drink, several model trains, an Ertl Routemaster, a truck PEZ despenser, a little ceramic wolf, a tiny mug with my name on it, and a working oil lamp.
The motivational posters only add to the 80's computer room feel.
Yes, those drum sticks are really signed by STOMP.
