No New Devices for Some Time
============================

Well, I  had to decided  to non to  extend my collection  of computing.
gadgets There are several reasons for that.

The first one is that I actually upgraded all my main devices in last 2
(or so) years:

* a desktop: the Raptor CS BlackBird (that POWER9 monster)
* a laptop: the GPD Pocket
* a phone: the Punkt. MP01

I also have the Gemini PDA (an Android computer which resembles a PSION
Series 5 devices) for the cases  when some "mainstream" stuff is needed
(i.e. to be able to unlock a shared bike and so).

The second reason is that I see no prospect in updating of other stuff.
The Kindle  of 3rd generation is  still fine (I hope  that it's battery
will continue to work for some time), the nVidia Shield Tablet is still
excellent (the best tablet ever done, at least for my purposes - it's a
shame that they abandoned that market).  And I'm satisfied with my Palm
and  PSION devices  (and I'm  sure that  no one  will produce  a newer,
better Palm  or PSION...). My  GPS (a  Garmin eTrex Touch)  still works
quite well,  too (though I don't  thing that the touchscreen  is a good
input device  for a GPSdesigned  for hiking  and climbing) .  It's even
more durable  than my older (and  unfortunate) eTrex 30. I  have enough
number  of SGI  workstation  (one  O2, one  Octane,  one  Indy and  two
Indigos, and a  bunch of non-complete or damaged ones:  the Indigo2 and
the Indy) and some IBM system, too. I can imagine some repairs here but
see no space for upgrades.

The third reason is less positive:  many of our home appliances are not
new and they tend  to broke after 10-15 years of  service. Next week we
are going to replace our fridge  (after 17 years of continuous service,
by the way).  And I should thing of car  replacement (the Skoda Octavia
from 2009) in the  next few years, too... So I need  so save some money
for future investment to home equipment  and mobility. The bad thing is
that I have no idea how these things (namely the cars) will cost in the
future. If  I will have to  buy a car  in, say, 2022 will  the electric
cars mandatory? Or will be  some crazy (and expensive) safety equipment
required? I have no idea.

Update:  a PSION  Organiser  II XP  arrived. I  have  forgotten that  I
ordered it...
