A concerned visitor stopped by!

Also, pulled out the existing HDs and am installing pure DOS 6.22 onto a new drive.

Why do I have the DOS 6.22 disks you may ask?

@usuario it is an impressive beast! The screen does leave a bit to be desired but yeah this is super well put together

I have committed a sacrilegious act!! We are welcoming this Toshiba Satellite Pro 435CDS into the collection 😅 120MHz of Windows 95 goodness. Took a gamble on a "my dad got this for my stepmom and it's been in a tub in the closet for almost 30 years" listing and it paid off 😁

Don't worry, this is the only working vintage Windows computer in this house

@mac84tv lol we can trade them like pogs and thin out any duplicates! 😅

The quest to acquire every different variety of PhoneNet connector continues unabated

Fediverse call to action! #fedihelp

So @Devils_Rancher manages a print shop that's fallen on tough times due to a recent tragedy.

If you've got a print job and are looking for a vendor, give https://www.industryprintshop.com/ a look!

Fun fact: Chris printed some batches of iconic Power Computing t-shirts back in the day in exchange for a computer!

@ryanhoulihan lol I dated someone that pre-fall Nick Denton wanted to f*ck and remember when you could find street parking in Williamsburg...let's get coffee sometime before we turn to dust

@mac84tv wait, you have a horizontal StarMax too!? 😜😅

@mac84tv oh no 😢

@mac84tv where should we send the Advil? 😅

@thomasfuchs just talked to the lady at Sears. She can squeeze you in before the volleyball team portraits tomorrow afternoon. Said she would have to charge the family portrait rate though.

Happy New Year! 🥳

December 23! Number pads for peak efficiency!

Or for playing Civ on PowerBooks. Mostly for playing Civ on PowerBooks. 😅

December 19! A super-old CD-ROM drive.

This is an NEC MultiSpin, in a very heavy case. It requires CD caddies and still works!

December 17! It's a Mavica!

Here is a later model that was lightly used back in the day. This platform-agnostic camera was revolutionary for its compatibility and ease of use. The optics weren't bad either! 📸

These are also very reasonably priced, and new batteries are affordable and available. Highly recommend!

December 15! Time to burn some CDs.

One of the most revolutionary products in my teenage life. Unlimited backup! Music for the car! Mixes for friends!

I had a similar drive (still somewhere in the collection) hooked up to the Performa 6400 Video Editing Edition, and the CDs on top of the drive contain a video project we created as an 8th grade class. Also just installed OS9 on a Lombard from a CD burned in this era. 4x or bust!

Thought I accidentally summoned a spirit, but turns out it was just the light from the hallway

Improved lighting for some fun stuff in December!

@mac84tv let's be real - you got it for the stickers 😅
