Cindy loves going to craft shows, flea markets, and what I think used to be called second-hand stores. She mostly purchases toys for kids, but other items occasionally catch her attention. We constantly donate stuff to try to maintain “stuff equilibrium”, but keeping up can be a challenge.
We are up North and it is a rainy day. It just happens we have access to a couple of annual junk benefits. If I go, I usually stay in the car reading something on my phone. Sometimes I write. You know how difficult it is to thumb type a post this long on a phone. These events can take a while and I end up wandering around. Usually, I am looking for the booth that sells coffee and homemade goodies.
Today’s event had an interesting tech section. I could have purchased a phone – there were probably 50 available-, CB radios, or CD boom boxes. The phones were $1. It all seemed kind of sad.
I was very tempted to purchase this keyboard. Just look at all the special function keys and the very large letters. Again, the price was $1. I prefer to write on a keyboard rather than try to tap on a screen. I have large hands. (Note that this the closest I have come to political issues or satire in this post. I expect some likes from the silent and the haters.). While this device could have some historical value, I mostly collect Apple products. The keyboard did not have a USB connector so the chances I would ever write something on this gem seemed very remote. I left it for some other old tech person.
