Palm Abacus - because why not?!

Just joined, so was thinking about stuff that is laying around in the attic...

My dad once buyed a Palm Abacus. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

After some digging I found it. It is a huge device and still need to check if it charges but I forgot about the little pen hidden. To bad battery life at that time was so bad. Not sure if I am going to keep it though. ๐Ÿคฃ

Sacrifice an Apple Watch and install the guts in that case. Be the coolest digi watch nerd on the block.

I was thinking something similar.

Drill a hole in the LCD, remove the guts, and install a mechanical watch behind the screen.

Kind of the opposite of Vortic watches

That could be cool and realistically easier than modding an Apple Watch.

They should sue Apple for ripping their design ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. Joking of course, but that looks very cool!

I say this because these were the heady days of digital when anything seemed possible ๐Ÿ‘
