So, that is my history with Magic Link. If you look around at the archives of this list and see who used to post here you will probably see ads for their Links as they have pretty much all left.
The MagicLink PIC1000 is well worth the $99 that y'all have been paying for it lately. I am glad that I was a part of this, someday I can say "gee remember that MagicLink I used to have, look at how far technology has come now". But then, I say that about my RadioShack Scientific Calculator from I'll keep following these lists, sporadically, so lets hear some comments. Who has had similar experiences? Who disagrees?
Funny that I happened to check out the newsgroup today...yesterday, a friend wanted to borrow the old PIC-2k because her laptop flamed out and she needed mobile email. Amusingly enough, it wouldn't turn on because instant-on ate the batteries :| (sigh)
(it did work after it was plugged in)
Reading this really brought me back, and it's given me a small fit of melancholia as well (gee, thanks). I have this almost overwhelming urge to say, "back in the old days", and spew forth about them olden times. Oh well....
Anyhow, a random lyric keeps coming to mind when thinking back on MagicCap: "when I was a young man
I needed good luck
but I'm a little bit older now
and I know my stuff"
Beats the hell out of me <g>

Is MagicLink still relavant?
