Hi all.

So when does old tech become Retro?
I found my original 1st gen Ipod in a draw and don’t really know what to do with it.

Is it old enough to be desirable ? or is it just old crap ?

It’s in perfect condition and far too nice to throw away.

what do you think?.

which one? Firewire only?

FireWire only with mechanical scroll wheel 🙂 the original,original

Bug it in the microwave.

Funny you mention that, I recently threw out an old pair of jeans, but found one of the original microwave ovens in there. The original original, where the molecules were vibrated by a motor which shook the oven about and the dish was vertically mounted.

there is a market as they apparently sound better see headfi

You found a microwave in a pair of jeans?

yes, yes I did.

Oh, sorry I mean the otherway round. Yes, that’s it. The other way round.

You found a microwave oven in some old jeans? 😕

edit: too slow

just stick it on ebay and see what it brings (and I’d accept oversees bids as I sold a broken later generation ipod for more than I ever expected to a buyer in the Netherlands…I think the weak pound helps)

tell me more about the jean/microwave combo sounds interesting LOL

I found a pair of jeans in one the original microwave ovens. The ones that worked by physically vibrating the water molecules.

On a similar note I have a very good condition Canon T70 which could be very desirable to the right person but has loitered in a drawer in my house for 4 years very unloved. seems the yanks on ebay like em but cant give em away here in nz.

mail me if you want to sell it

cheers
