Hey Birt! | Ferengi Friday - Preponderance of Pokecoms - Sharp, Casio, Tandy Pokecoms and some misc too! @HeyBirt | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Video sponsor: PCBWay: $5 for 2 layer PCBs with 24hr turnaround at pcbway.com
It that time again, time for another Ferengi Friday! This is the day we take a look at all the recent acquisitions that have found their way into the shop. This episode is all about Pokecoms, that is Pocket Computers with a bit of test equipment (for Pokecoms) thrown in too. Join us as we see what the postman brought and see what works and what does not. Remember the 64th Rule of Acquisition states that vintage computers always a good investment.
