I was wondering why my #Amiga 4000 was not booting up... Opened the lid and realized I had removed the CPU card and put it in my Amiga 3000! Darn things refuse to boot without a CPU. How lame! 🤣🤣

"Bot a bad version", eh? Kinda revealing that you're just an A.I., huh Sophie... Well prove you're human!

Reports of my Demise have been greatly exaggerated... I'm here, and working on a new video for the 40th anniversary of our beloved #Amiga - and I think I should be back on track and making regular videos in November.

My son got me a Black and White 2.5" Television for Father's Day. Probably from 1967. So of course I have to hook it up to something! Works perfect on my Atari 5200! Next up, I need to connect it to my PS5 or something.

Do you have any 8" Floppy drives? Because I found a drive cleaner for you!

Little baby TV's coming out my ears at the Surplus Store! I bought a little 5.5" color with Composite input for $10.00 - most little guys like this only have RF inputs.

It's possible I figured out why the motherboard failed on this Lenovo laptop. There may just be some clue in this picture! 🤣🤣🤣
It looks like it was attacked by a Rogue Varta, but the board was only about a year old!

Ok Google... Your absolute piece of garbage Artificial Intelligence offers customers these options? "Try it Now" or "Continue"????
Come on... You are all but forcing us to swallow this garbage.
And yes, I know there is an "x" in the corner, but 90% of people will ignore it .

Found some cool things at my local Surplus Store today. Did not buy any of them, but was tempted by the DS/DD floppy disks.

This funky XT class "portable" PC boots OK, and even plays Star Control! Not quite the same experience as I have on my Amiga...

I have no idea what this is (mainly because I have not even done one second of research) but it was a gift from a customer. She says she used it in 1980, but the expansion makes it look more like an XT Clone.
It's no SX-64, but it's kinda neat!

I was going to do a full review on the #Atari VCS I picked up on December for less than $100... But tech gods forgive me... It just sucks.
I literally have zero fun with this thing. Zero.
Time to load Windows 11 on it so it's a least usable.

I am a silly boy. I have been playing with an #Amiga Workbench 1.3 install today, creating HDF files, formatting them and moving data. And I was doing things one at a time. Format, then copy. Format another, then copy. Totally forgot that Multitasking from 1985 lets me do it all at once!

Absolutely love the quality of these #Dell Latitude keyboards. Such workmanship! Out of 6 Dell laptops I fixed today, 4 had worn keyboards. This was the worst, though.
My 1981 VIC-20 keyboard is still perfect, BTW.

I own four of them last time I checked. I always try and keep one hooked up and ready to go! Is there possibly a "Rogue 20" in the future?

On day 30 of using my #Commodore 128D and Pocket Planner 2 spreadsheet to keep track of one of my contracts for my company. It's working perfectly and helps me track both my hours and make sure I get paid.
Sure I could do it in Excel (Insert current name here), but I am cooler than that.
