And then sat back and watched the > nutters overbid for it. I was thinking exactly the same thing. Have you seen what Gizmondos (Gizmondoes? Gizmondi? Gizmondae?) go for these days? Fact is, apart from the buttons and the shoddy case edges... and the easily-scratched screen cover... and, er... where was I going with this? Oh yeah... the actual internals do seem to *work*. More or less. The imperfections are probably fixable. Which isn't much consolation if you've waited two years for one and it's turned out to be a load of shoddy old junk, but in ten years' time it might be quite a desirable bit of retro kit itself. I almost wish I'd backed it, actually. Almost. -- Duncan Snowden.
