Way Back Machines (Computers)

Here is a interesting web site for old computers:

I know- I misspelled (Computers)

 

I've still got several of those.

 

My first computer....first one I actualy owned, I found in the garbage of this building: Toshiba Satellite Pro, I think 420. I will keep it forever. Found it in original Targus bag; it was in perfect condition and not PW protected. It ran W95; I upgraded it to W98 after a guy gave me the one little ram upgrade available, and the puppy could run it. Grand total of 40MBs.

No touchpad, rather, an eraserhead capped navigator protruding from the middle of the KB. and, in the case, I found what Toshiba had included: ...tons more eraserheads. Much more wonderful than, say, Radiohead. (Laughing smilie)

Pentium one, slow as molasses.......and made so beautifully you could just sit and look at the dedicated ram bay and how meticulously it's made and be nourished.

She even threw out the external floppy drive with it. My friend John said it had been around 3K new.

I am sure nobody can afford to make anything that magnificently now. But it's still a shame, that to get the specs we need, we often have to settle for sleazoid.

Thanks for the link! And pls do not diss yourself for the occasional typo....we are HUMAN; that is a Good Thing.

You have far fewer holes & deficits than XP!

 

Good! (Clapping animated smilie)

Increasingly disposable everything impacts us socio culturally, make no mistake about it.

Also, those will, down the road, be worth serious money! Not unlike vintage receivers and audio equipment with vacuum tubes! (Thumbs up smilie)

And forgive the stereotype cause all such are bad, but Mr. Connery I hear, has the first dollar he ever made. Cept that may also owe to he has four planets in Virgo.

Would that more humans be moved in that direction! (Another thumbs up smilie.)

I sometimes visit an esoteric site where they only sell perfectly restored vintage gas stoves. They are like classic cars---only more wonderful, I think and with no downside--- and all of them go for very serious money.
