  2. I had a green Handspring Visor in high school (in the US)! I loved that thing to bits, it was gorgeous. Sadly it was stolen when my family's car was broken into while we were out having dinner… seeing that box made me feel very nostalgic!

  4. I have a controller that looks almost like the 16 pin you have. Just not the same color. Have no idea what it goes to but I got it at goodwill. I love collecting just random joysticks!

  5. OMG that little fake Apple EMU Drive is SO COOL!! I wish I could get ones like that for my Atari 800XL or say a 286 or 386 or 486 PC….would be way cool. I know what that 70s smell you speak of smells like!!! lol. I lived through the 70s and had old electronics like that as a kid. I know that capacitor / plastic / grease smell. Man its an era smell isn't it? 🙂 In 1976 I was 7 years old. Man my memories keep me warm. When I was a kid we had no idea the name brand Tandy would be a thing of the past one day. It was so prevalent back then. Common. Loved the video. Thanks for this one.

  6. All the 90s Toshiba laptops have VARTA batteries in them that kill them – I’d crack it open and get the batt out stat if I were you! The internal PSU in most of that era Toshibas also have awful leaky ELNA caps in them that need changed often. Great system working though!

  7. Don't have to explain yourself. You do you and we'll consume whatever content you produce. Some people are just so critical. Most of us here just wanna have a good time and relive the good old days.

  8. Opening 5 or ten boxes at a time would make it possible for longer commentary on each item and set it at about 10 minutes. One hour is good for Youtube gods of monetization but it makes hard to watch such videos on lunch break or while doing stuff. I like thrift and unboxing videos in any form so whatever you do it's viewable for me, I just have to cut the viewing experience into pieces because life.

  9. That UNIX manual is a significant piece of computer science history and it definitely deserves to be in a proper museum or respected collection. What an amazing gift to receive.
