I got some books, the boardgames Risk and (oh boy) Scrabble. I also got some money and giftcards to Borders and Barnes and Noble (Everybody thinks I read all the time. I do, when I'm not on the computer) I also got the 1st season of [i]Futurama[/i]
The books I got were:
[i]Just For Fun[/i] by Linus Torvalds and David Diamond
[i]All The President's Men[/i] by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward
[i]Quicksilver[/i] by Neal Stephenson.
In late 2001, my neighbors gave me their old Mac Performa 630CD. This was my first computer. I thought it was great. It had 32mb of RAM, a 33mhz processor and a 250mb internal IDE drive and a 500mb SCSI drive and a CD-ROM. I still used the family Windows box, though. Then I got two LC 5200s from my school. One had a TV card. So I took the motherboard, Harddisk and TV and Ethernet cards out of one and put them in the 630.
Then, this august, I got a Sony Vaio PCG-FRV25 laptop. 15" screen, 4ogb HDD, 2.66ghz P4, DVD-ROM/CD-RW, USB 2.0, 4-pin firewire, Memory Stick Pro slot, PCMCIA slots and a Sony mini-video out connector. The external video is driven by a Radeon IGP card. I have it running RedHat 8.0 (SuSE 8.2 Pro install won't load, damn winmodems!) and XP home. I went to the dark side, but returned to a modereately grey aeria.
But I want an Atari portable!

Or, why not buy an old, monochrome iPaq 3100, install Familiar, attach however much storage you want with a CF or PCMCIA jacket and use that?
Yeah. My MD player cost $100 on sale, and only came with 1 74 minute disk (I bought more). This will kill everything else in the $50-$100 range.
Tall, Venti, and Grande, of couse!
