Recent additions
Recently I've obtained (or will obtain) two new items (one of which is new to me).
The first item I received was a Toshiba Satellite M60, obtained from my great-aunt who'd received it from my late great-uncle who'd died a couple of years ago.
I have to say that despite the fact that it has about the same specs as my current laptop, I'm going to be very happy with this one, especially with the keyboard (it actually has a number pad on the side!) and accessories, such as a built-in SD-card reader, a CardBus slot, a PCMCIA slot, built-in wireless network card, Harman/Kardon speakers, and an 80GB hard drive.
I'm going to be very happy with this, once I get a copy of Linux installed on it...
The second item I'll be getting is an LCD display from robotshop.ca that I'll be able to connect to my Arduino board and will be able to use it to display text and possibly graphics.
(I think it's the hardware hacker in me trying to express itself)
It should arrive this Monday, and once I get home from class, I'll probably be rather busy playing around with it... =^.^=
