Calling all commodore 1084S-P aficionados. How do I know which chassis I have for the flyback? I don't see a label anywhere

New #short! Picked up a New Old Stock copy of Windows NT 4.0 OEM. Never seen one without some OEM branding (Compaq, Dell, etc.)

Retro Mac people: I kinda want a 90's B&W PowerBook. For context, think PB140, 165, etc. Why? I just do. 🤷

Yes, I know about brittle plastic, leaky batteries, etc.

What's one that's "safe-ish" to get! How much should I spend?

And yes, I'm crazy.

This came with a Mario Paint Special insert! I recently picked up this issue, along with a few others that also had stuff about Mario Paint in it. Spent countless hours on that game back in the day.

Well, Silicon Alley Recyclers has closed. Saw on Facebook today. Bummer.

Glad I got to stop in there recently and save a couple of CRTs, optical drives, and some shareware.

I wish the owners the best of luck in their future endeavors.

This makes me happy 🤗

And yes, mostly because it's 1234. And if I remember and get there, I'll post again when it's 5678.

Thank the lords! I didn't know if I was going to make it...

Amazon email letting me know I'm saving two cents on my LEGO Game Boy order...
