The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.
One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.
Digital Retro in Paperback
By James Grahame
I'm a sucker for books. I have dozens of unread titles lingering on the bookshelf, waiting for the spare time I never have. It goes without saying that I want shelves more. Digital Retro is Gordon Laing's tribute to 40 classic computing platforms. It's available now in paperback. That means it'll be far cheaper than the hardcover edition, and I can't say no to a bargain.
There are more pictures than text, which is also fine by me. Oh, how I long for the days before every computer was a Dell. If a Timex Sinclar or NeXT cube is your secret fetish, you'll find it here. My reading list also includes Michael Nadeau's Collectible Microcomputers and Revolution in the Valley by Apple legend Andy Herzfeld.
