@foone I don't think I ever owned this many. Although I did have a rare prize at one point, a Token Ring card, because I needed it to work at IBM in the year of our lord 2001. I don't think we got Ethernet until '04 or so.

@foone Nokia used Geos on their early Communicator phones too. I think until 9210. It was neat to break one into command.com too. Also managed to get a Linux kernel running, but the keyboard had something funky in those and it only worked over serial connection.
