I sometimes see retro computing posts on here. I have no interest in old Commodore 64s or game consoles, but a while ago I bought a second hand Palm m105 and reminded myself how much I loved mine.

When they were current, I badly wanted a Psion series 3 or 5. I recently managed to get a series 3 and 3a for reasonable prices. They're impressive machines.

I would like to find a real-world use case for at least some of these PDAs. I'm not sure yet what that might be.

Saw this model of a #Spitfire next to the canal in #Chester.

This happened a few days ago, but I missed it:

"Aldrich Ames, a CIA officer who became one of America's most damaging double agents, has died aged 84."

I'm looking to buy a second hand laptop. Is there anywhere that will advise on Linux compatibility?

Years ago there were hardware compatibility databases, do they still exist, and if so, where?
