Got a 'Cambridge Z88'
« on: April 01, 2013, 08:27:46 PM »
What do i do with it. confused:
It's ancient, but in excellent condition.

Not really sure what it does, as the screen is quite small and narrow.

I think it's used for storing data only, and it's got 3Mb of storage apparently. Shrugs:

Do I bin it into recycling, or is it actually of use to someone somewhere p'raps. Museum piece even? rubschin:
Does it actually have any ££££'s value?

I inherited it off 'our kid' 10 years ago, so reckon it must be about 15 years old now.

So. What do I do with it?

Am I right in saying that it's a small screened laptop without internet capabilty then? rubschin:

All a bit pointless really imo?
I ain't going to use it, so anyone wanna buy it off me?

The new VP Auction 'Ouse. cloud9:

Now, let's see. rubschin:

Did I hear a starting price of £50? Shrugs:
