This box is a logitech revue. I picked on up at the Goodwill Outlet yesterday for about a buck.

Kinja'd!!!

Before buying it I did a quick search online to see what it is and whether it’s worth a dollar. Now that I’ve done that I’m getting targeted ads on the front page for the item I just bought, but that’s not my concern. Below, for your enjoyment, is the box Amazon now wants to sell me:

Yup - that’s a box, although it isn’t branded. And that keyboard is not part of the Revue, but was another item I spotted at the Outlet (keyboard was missing and the only part I found was the base station).

I guess that, until I look at another product on Amazon, they’ll keep trying to sell me a basic brown cardboard box. Thanks, but I’ve got plenty of cardboard boxes...

I just read about this on my Apple Newton, but then the battery died, so I cranked up some Boston on my MiniDisc player and sat down and played on my Turbografx 16.

I know it’s ancient, and by extension probably crap, but I’d spend that much on a bag of pretzels out of the vending machine so it’s not like I wasted a bunch of money. I just want to experiment and see how bad it is and how it compares to modern media boxes, and maybe harvest it for parts...

Ha! Check out the noob over here dicking around with his credit card cartridges while I’ve already upgraded to the turbografx CD! Enjoy obsolescence, noobasaurus rex!

Yeah, well, I’ve also got a Neo Geo with every single game. If you come over, I can show you both of them.

You paid about 11 dollars too much.

Time to hack it and turn it into a Kodi box

Oh hell yeah. If that’s possible, consider it done.
