my first ibm as well.
this is the one that finally convinced me to stop building my own computers and to finally realize that my 8 inch floppies were unlikely to make a dramatic comeback
Today the sun shined stronger than usual, pointing to the distant land of Reoville. A hint, perhaps?
I get ready to go to work when I see a letter under the door, from RVPS (<-). It said the three magic words that every Reonaut in training awaits:
"It is with great pleasure that we inform you that your key to the grand gates of Reoville is...
*OUT FOR DELIVERY* "
YAY,![]()
IIRC, someone should be playing with a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater this weekend too!![]()
Does this convince you that REOville, really is the place to call home?

That right there, is persuasion at its finest. LOLDoes this convince you that REOville, really is the place to call home?
I have a REO Grand and a DNA20 bogger box. I can tell you that there is no room in the Reo for a DNA chip. OTOH, my wife has a VVG. The Reo has an area that is set aside for the chip and other electronics. The chip that is in the VVG can be replaced with a DNA chip. You would need to use a different cover for the electronics bay so you could see the display of the DNA. The size of the bb and the VVG are about the same, so there should be room in it.
Even if you could mod the Grand to add the chip, the firing pin setup on the Grand would not work well with that mod. You would (more than likely) end up using a different battery, which is one of the selling points of the Grand (IMHO).
So, bottom line, if you want to mod a Reo to add the DNA chip, I would suggest that you use the VVG as your base model, rather than the standard Grand.
Don't let my calm attitude trick you, I'm screaming inside LOL. I was so convinced I'd have today in my hands that piece of mechanical beauty, and when I checked the mail and see only the cartomizers, what a slap to the face.
On the bright side, the more they delay it, the more I'm going to enjoy it once I finally have it. I don't know about thunderstorms, but I predict a room full of clouds for that day. It'll rain PG/VG I tell you!
PS: This is all your fault, my dear soon to be neighbors. Why must you make me want to have a REO so bad?!
