[ale] OT: Woah, retro!

[Joe]

I got a package in the mail from my grandma today, containing assorted
junk of mine that she found floating around the house. It contained
the following items, among others, which I mention purely for the joy
of having them back in my posession:

- My Dad's Texas Instruments SR-50 scientific calculator, c. 1975. No
battery pack, no adapter, no manual. This machine was the central
computing engine at Dad's land-surveying business for about five
years in the 70's.

- My Timex/Sinclair 1000, c. 1982, Z80A, 1K RAM. With manual (!), but
no power supply, alas. Anybody got a dead one with a working power
supply they'd be willing to part with? I'd love to see if this thing
still boots. Hmm, maybe I can pick up a workable P/S at Radio Snack...

Thanks,

-- Joe Knapka
