| I'm with stingraze. Equip the Sig 3 body with a board that supports a touchscreen version of WEC 7, and I'd come running. 
Case in point about the collectors' item argument:

| Based on the age and original purchase cost, most investment calculators show that he would have more money today if he simply would have put the money in the bank and not bought the Mobilepro 200.
On your WE7 Sylvania...does it run any of the olcer CE3 applications? |

Probably could say the same thing about getting married...

| It's very possible that the seller is not the original owner, and may well have gotten it cheap not long ago. I paid about 10 USD each for my Casio A-10 and Compaq C140 a few years ago.  |

| Well, regardless of how the seller acquired it, I'm pretty sure that he won't see that type of return on it. |

CEGeek, those Claviers are riduculous...
I also didn't mention several Airpanels, Fujitsu tablets, and a bunch of CE based x86 tablets and thin clients.
If I'm going retro, I guess it is time to dig out my old leisure suit....
Yeah, like you ever took off your leisure suit...  |

| Not only did I have a leisure suit back then, but I had a pair of high-platform shoes that went with it...almost identical to these...and this is no joke...I'm serious...and almost embarrassed. Not quite sure the year...somewhere around 1977. I know it was before my Commodore B-128 and after the PET. The reason I know this is I took a trip to Chicago to attent the annual B-128 Users Group convention, and took my leisure suit with me. It was fading out of style during that time, but probably about 20% of the men still wore them.  (shoe.jpg)Attachments ----------------  shoe.jpg (89KB - 0 downloads) |

| Geez, as nerdy as I was in the '70s, even I never wore a pair like that. ('Course, I'm 5-foot-10, so those heels would be a bit too much enhancement. ) 
As for the price in the listing I posted above, you never know. The seller made a pretty good sales pitch, and, well, you know what P T Barnum once said . . . |

| Yeah, I do remember reading about what he said..."born every minute." I'm 5'-10" also, but with those shoes I was over 6 feet.  |

Might improve the sales pitch a bit if the seller knew how to spell . . . |
