I have - and use! - a Sony Mavica FD-92 that I got at MIT #SwapFest this year, and I'm now daydreaming about stockpiling working 3.5" drives just in the interest of #permacomputing (though maybe I'm getting that sort of wrong)

In reality, I never played Out Run as a kid. But I did play a *LOT* of Rad Racer on my relatives' NES, and I loved the game. I picked this up yesterday at the MIT Flea/Swapfest yesterday, after I packed up my tables and did a quick run over to visit some other vendors I'm acquainted with.

The sticker on this one reads $12, but the vendor told me to give him $10 so he didn't need to make change. Happy to do so.

anyone else on #bostodon going to #swapfest today?

Just a reminder: stop by and say hi at the MIT Flea / Swapfest tomorrow morning in Cambridge, Massachusetts! I'm happy to chat, you can poke at old and underpriced computers, and I might even convince you to take some free stuff!

@scribblesonnapkins y'all know how much I love the Flea! #Swapfest

1st Addendum (I'm sure there will be more):

I'll have a few Skylanders Starter Packs for the Xbox 360. $5 will get you the disc in case, a portal, and two Skylanders. Did you recently pick up a cheap 360 to jailbreak it? Why not pick up a complete game with cool figurines?

Oh, and I am happy to swap. I'm looking for:

- 2x NES gamepad controllers

- a Macintosh-compatible AGP video card with DVI out.

Either of those things will get you an entire working computer, or other item of your choice, from my table.

#Swapfest

The last MIT Flea / Swapfest of the year is this coming Sunday, October 19th. I will be selling! I want stuff out of my home! All unreasonable offers will be entertained and/or entertaining!

Among other things I will have are:

- a Power Macintosh 7200/90 with a 300 MHz G3 upgrade card

- a 400 MHz G4 Graphite desktop, in its original box

- a Miyoo PocketGo, the predecessor to the Miyoo Mini (i.e., a #GameDad)

I did not mean for there to be a ten hour delay between that first post and the rest of the thread. The day got away with me.

So, late but not never:

Today's #MITFlea / #Swapfest wasn't as busy as I'm accustomed to. I was surprised at that, as were some of the vendors that I spoke with. Still, it was a good time, and I had a lot of fun conversations.
