A busy weekend, actually.
1) I took pictures of a bunch of systems:
Atari Portfolio
Radio Shack Model 100
Epson HX-20
NEC PC-8401a
GRiD GRiDCase 3
NEC PC-8201A
Apple Mac Portable
Hewlett-Packard LS/12
Data General DG One
Altima 2
IBM PC Radio
Amstrad PPC640
Osborne 01
Compaq Portable 386
GRiD GRiDPad 1910
Hewlett-Packard 75D
Amstrad PenPad PDA600
Panasonic Sr. Partner
2) Got them developed
3) bought a Land Rover (actually, 2)
4) wrote a system to automatically generate web pages for each of my
computers based on simple data files. It uses 4 data files: Text,
Resources, misc. Data, and Image list. There are a handful of template
files used to build the actual web page. So all I have to do is come up
with some text about the computer and lists of related links, images and
specs to generate the web page.
So, expect me to be asking about some of my systems in the near future.
And, if anyone is interested in using this program, let me know. It's
written in QBasic for DOS (Is that 10 years old?) but could probably be
ported to just about anything. (In fact, I'll bet Perl or Cobol would be
even better for some things.)
You can see a sample of the layout it generates at

I'd love to get any feedback anyone cares to offer.
Thanks!
