Why aren't you picking some up? They're rare as shit and neat as fuck. Even if the Itanium wasn't the game changer Intel and HP wanted everyone to believe it was, it was still a fascinating departure from traditional hardware design and had decent performance in certain niches. HP-UX still has plenty of currently maintained free software and Linux is always an option too.

Even if you don't want one, I'm sure you could still undercut the shit out of jews on Ebay and still make it worth your while to deliver a few to good homes.

That sucks, wouldn't beat myself up over it though since getting your hands on IRIX without connections was probably ass back then, and who knew it was going to end up getting better.

I've got a shitty 100 MHz R4K teal box too, a little beaten up from being used as a $25,000 graphics terminal in a mine for mapping and low-end as shit except for the shitty XZ option. I'm thinking of getting some new plastics for it and using it for running mathematica models. Even destitute systems like that are still fun to put to work if you can deal with the tiny hard disks.

Taiwanese unlicensed copies of Famicon were extremely popular in eastern europe.
In Poland we called all of them "Pegasus" but there were many different brandings and styles.

20€ is a lot for one of these.
They were dirt fucking cheap.

Until I got hands on a used german N64 somewhere around 2003-2004 it was the only console I (and majority of people in fact) ever had.

A console, two pads and a chink cartridge (that contained vast majority of famicom games) was like 10€

Yeah, only one ever made, designed by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro (who also designed the Delorean DMC-12 and original Lotus Esprit after this). The car was fully functional and street legal, but it was only meant as a one time showoff type thing.

The interior design must've changed at some point as any more recent pictures show it as pic related. Which is a different, more "gritty dystopian future" type asethetic but just as, or perhaps more awesome.

>>59530499
Yep. Perfectly normal.

pixels were a mistake

Anyone else still have one of these small grey portable radio TV's lying around? I think they stopped broadcasting on UHF some time in 2012

I managed to rig mine up to cable as a kid. It had a 2.5mm plug input for video and I didn't have the 3wire one so I had to run VCR-audio-out to a different stereo.

Doesn't look like one.

It's most likely an SGI keyboard.

50hz then, same idea though.

>>59519771
oh fuck, wood-grain, beige, turbo button, physical lock, it's beautiful.

>>59530151
that's standard.

The reason is that they can just print five copies of XIIIIIV and cut them up:

X IIII IV = 10 4 6
XI II IIV = 9 2 7
XI I IIIV = 11 1 8
XII III V = 12 3 5

On normal clocks where all the numbers are the same size I mean.

not even a watchfag but mechanical watches aren't lauded for their accuracy, but rather how complicated the tiny mechanical movements are.
