solarbird...I stopped at a benefit sale for the Rose House, where amongst other things they had a TI 1200 calculator from 1975 still in box and in pristine condition; a bit of a Bargain Hunt find, that was, but I told them to eBay it instead of selling it to me for $1. They were eBay aware, they just had no idea it might be worth something.
I also bought a used labelmaker (another $1 special), which makes me happy, because I love these stupid things:
I don't really have anything to label right now because I want to get some of the plastic labelling tape instead of the plain white paper it came with, so I labelled my cat.

Date: 2009-09-20 05:18 am (UTC)I've resisted getting one of those p-touch style labelmakers because the ribbons are expensive, and it's just too TINY compared to the Croy machine I used in drafting :-) You got a great deal.
I have the Dymo embossed label makers, but sadly the adhesive on the label stock I have is going bad :-( I've had them for so long that it's now "retro"!

Date: 2009-09-20 01:40 pm (UTC)For making draughting labels, we have the old Brother PT-6, which was a new purchase back in 1988 -- they still make the tapes for it. What's nifty about it is the user interface -- a rotary dial just like the hand-held Dymos. I wonder whether the designers were consciously copying that? Certainly the later machines had QWERTY keyboards. Now I wonder whether they made Dvorak ones, too?

Date: 2009-09-20 04:17 pm (UTC)I had so much fun with Dymo labellers as a kid. I made humorously appropriate labels for people. Such as "Friendly local bookie." for a librarian.

Date: 2009-09-21 05:07 am (UTC)The naming has turned out to be sometimes annoyingly apt.
