  1. If that’s what it looks like…. cooooool


  2. How precise do you have to be?
    Do you have to give like the specific model?

  3. Hi Yon,

    You don’t need to provide the exact model but you will need to give the name of the machine and what was done with it.


  5. Hi Yon,

    Just the generic name of the device will do. If you know who makes it that is better but not needed.


  6. IT’s A Typey Thing!


  7. I would never have the strength to cart around that vintage portable computer 😉


  9. Hi Raphael,

    Please send in your guess via email (not in the comments).


  10. Hi,
    QQ, do you have to give an example of what it was actually used for or can you give an example of another use for it? Like for example “comb your hair with it”


  11. The example must be what it would have been used for or an example of something that you could do with it but not something generic like a door stop.


  12. Noes!
    I thought it was 23-29 🙁
    I couldn’t get a connection last night and was relieved that I was able to send in my guess today but now I see it’s 23-28
    🙁


  13. That’s too bad Yon. Good thing there is a contest every week. 🙂
