HP Virtual Tech Museum Contest

Today, HP launched its Virtual Tech Museum and hope to build an extensive virtual vintage gadget collection with the help of all nostalgic geeks who did not get rid of their grand mother’s computers and communication devices. To accelerate the creation of this online Museum, HP offers prizes for the “oldest device” and “most compelling personal story” in each country. The contest ends July 10th 2009, the regional Grand prize is a HP TouchSmart IQ500, other prizes are the HP Pocket Media Drive PD3200 and the HP Mini 110. When you compare the HP Mini 110 to the “Integral Computer” in the picture (25 pounds, 7×13 inches!), it gets scary… especially when you look at the performances (5 MB RAM!).
