   @vga256 @ThreeOhFour I'm currently playing with a BB form factor computer called Beepy. Command line only, but it's awesome.

     @vga256 This is why the Blackberry brand held so much of the market for so long in the corporate world.

     @vga256 Fantastic. The entire Z-Machine concept is just the BEST idea for preservation of those old titles.

     @vga256 Does it have a dedicated Z-Machine app?

     today’s pickup is a Palm Tungsten E2. really excited about this one because it has a built-in SD card slot and bluetooth, making for super easy program/file transfers

     appears to never have been used, and the battery still holds a strong charge!
