i already got a 386 laptop for yosmas i don't think we can top that

running anything fun on it yet? like your x86 3D thing?

that new old stock docking station is down to $50 (plus the same for shipping), you could put cards in it and stuff and also not have to have the battery connected

doesn't j290 host a bbs?

who has enough phone lines to set up a modem pool?

phone lines? just write a custom networking stack using the cassette port and run it over teamspeak

there's an Apple II file transfer utility, ADTPro, that can be bootstrapped via an audio file played to the cassette port

I should go buy a cheap USB capture card and do a dumb effort post with these computers.

what does your heart tell you

finding small CRTs nowadays is surprisingly hard. I have an old CCTV monitor that works but the raster lines are vertical and not horizontal so it looks all weird; and it's b&w which isn't great for a color computer

my parents still have the 15in Amdek Color-I Plus composite monitor that we got with our Apple //c, they kept it when they sold the //c because I had my NES connected to it

I just tried it this Xmas and it still works great after not having been powered up for probably 25 years, there's a little tear in the antiglare fabric but it's otherwise in great shape

they're looking for a good home for it, PM me if you're interested

back when i was a tot in grade school we had C64s and LASER Apple ][ clones

also if either of you happen to be near the chicago area i will go take one of your CRTs off of your hands

the Amdek Color-I Plus that's in my parents' basement is actually in the Chicago area

PM me and I bet I can set something up

(you don't touch the Macs though, they're mine all mine all mine all mine)
