  4. I bet the FCC could tell. by Fizzlewhiff · · Score: 3, Funny

    You would never know it's not a real Iris Indigo.

    With all the metal removed and a plexiglass frame replacing it the FCC could probably tell its not a real Indigo from the EMF radiation.

    I think though that I might be inspired to do a case mod now using a Sun 411 enclosure. Given the past two days bigger cases seem to be better, perhaps I can mount my Handspring inside it.

  5. Jeez.. "Unremarkable hardware" by Tony.Tang · · Score: 3, Funny
    From the site: The hardware itself isn't particularly remarkable.... I am using a Soyo K7ADA motherboard with a 1.2 Ghz T-bird and 512 megs of DDR ram.

    Jeez. I wish I could say things like that. (/me pats his p166 fondly)
