🤓 ummm that is a Compaq Prolinea 486 desktop… not a Pentium. Bad form Intel. Hopefully that level of quality control doesn’t spill over to your brand new Pentium line.. 🫢

I asked for a 4mb memory upgrade as my high school graduation present (1994) brought me up to 8mb and I thought I was in the big leagues.

32mb in a 486. You are living the extreme in 1995.

In the neon-lit corridors of a VCFMW, two retro computer nerds were on the verge of solving what seemed an impossible puzzle. One night, they disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a mystery that would baffle experts for years. This is the story of Ron and NotRon, the phantom Mac restorers.

I knew it needed some work but I was pretty sure the lcd worked. When I was working on it it just wouldn’t get through POST sometimes. It’s a great laptop. One of the few with wavetable sound.

@ptk2k5.bsky.social only gets rid of the heavy items. It’s his jam.

Why? Did you sneak it on his table when he was getting a tasty beverage?

I probably could get behind this as well

No problem. I tried getting to your table in time but alas was too slow. End of October is fine with me.
