my dearest calculator was missing. that was why i got up so early this afternoon and took this trip across the sea.

 

again, equipped with a map, i got off the bus @ the wrong place. had to walk back.  but, oh, the wide pavement, trees along the road, (relatively) broad sky above my head, and a dog wandering alone.. this wrong place reminds me of my own city (although i dont really know which is my own city. anyway.) and that was so pleasant

 

i was underestimating the size of my target area. soon i realized that it was impossible to explore this super-flea-market within one day (my one-day doesnt include the morning). now lets see wht we’ve got here: old-school cameras with their height > their width / sony’s earliest diskman models (one was similar with the one i lost when i was small T.T) / terribly out-dated computer hardware (celeron 633 @ $30,  ATi Rage128 @ $20) and software (win98se (genuine!))..

 

and there were hardware shops with all the tools an engineer might need.. now you know how this was a paradise for an electro-mania like me XD

 

and i found *my precious* Sharp® caculator! but it was not the exact same model, but some kinda upgraded version, and the price was the same as many years ago =д=

 

 

ps: for those working on 1808 project, now i ve got some so called  n-way sockets here (which is already depleted in the lab and will NOT be replenished, says Gary), and ya know wht ya should do now?.. ￣▽￣
