And it better had a Bitcoin wallet worth gazillions on it!

Dogecoin! So vapour, much crypto!

At least a week ago you could still order the Apple adapters from Amazon US-store for 25€/$27 each.

Yeah. I really don’t understand the crazy prices for the Apple adapter at all. But the worst thing is: I don’t have one I could now sell for a fortune. Argh 🤣

And on topic: I bought an Apple A1016 BT keyboard for 15€ today. Don't really need it but it will be a nice addition for my collection and somewhat period correct for some of my early flat panel iMacs. I bought one new but it broke in tragic Coke accident when almost new.

I have one of those brand new in box, which I never got round to using….😁
Can’t remember the original price though, I think I must have bought it for my G5..….🤔

What I use with my iMac is the Elgato TB2 dock […] I've seen several in about 30-40€ region recently complete with PSU.

This one even sold for less than 20 €.

This one even sold for less than 20 €.

Yes but its the Elgato TB Dock 1.

Yes but its the Elgato TB Dock 1.

Yeah. Looking at the pictures more closely, I have now realised that. And I didn’t even know Elgato made a TB1 dock!

I noticed the ethernet port was in the other end than in my TB Dock 2. Otherwise they look quite identical. And the sticker on the bottom doesn't have 2 in it.

It might have been a short lived product. I see reviews for the TB Dock 1 appearing in May-June 2014 and for the TB Dock 2 already in December of same year.

BTW. some reviews comment the USB 3 bus being slow on the TB Dock 1 - sounds like the same thing or even same chipsets/components as with Belkin TB Express Dock? Elgato's next version got a speed bump.
