Look what my dad found in the basement!

in 1994 this was a very decent machine. 👍
one of the first laptop with a USB connecter

@J-2FA I’m not sure. It’s missing hard drive cover

It’s a bit scratched

But does it run Crysis?

Fancy

I had one of these!

"RATTLE NOISE IS NORMAL"
:DDDDDD

@athlon made in hungary, can you believe this? 😲

Disassembling! Surprisingly no dust inside

@Lahsen2016 I’m actually gonna buy ATA drive, power supply and try to get some floppies to install Windows 95

A porn that only a fellow tech savvy person will appreciate.

Bookmarked.

Lucky you! Got hardware that is immune to Meltdown and Spectre

@Nanos He’s 46 ;) I think he also had Atari 800

I think I would use mine for some retro games

Oh my god, she’s a right beaut ain’t she? Take care of it :)

I have this exact same laptop!

maybe this is the origin of wifi icon 🤔

@Nanos I actually love how old computers are easy to disassemble. Seriously, to get out the keyboard you just got to pull out one plastic piece and it’s out!

@Nanos 😮

Well in communistic Poland it was pretty hard to get own computer as far as i Know from stories. The first ones that actually you could buy (with dollars) were Commodore 64, Atari 800, and a bit later Amiga - all of them in 80s. Plus in terms of games there was NES clone - Pegasus, but that’s different story.

Fun story - my dad made a program on his Atari to pass exams. The professor asked him “how he did this green characters”, and he said “it’s because it’s monochrome screen, sir”... he was also selling video games on cassette tapes ;)

Unfortunately my first contact with computer was with some old Toshiba laptop with Windows XP, and and one computer at my aunt which had Intel Pentium and Windows 98. And my first very own computer which I had was in 2007 AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (that’s why I got this nickname)...

@Nanos you wouldn’t imagine how many times my dad had to reinstall Windows, because I broke something on this AMD Athlon computed. I was screwing with it a lot! 😂
I was trying to change everything, every game (especially Mafia game) as much as possible.

I guess there’s a reason why I like programming, computers (modern and classic) and technology overall...

Post the picture of UI if it runs

@bikki well I don’t have money for now... Should I start Kickstarter campaign? 🤔
