Face au #commodore #amiga 500,
le Prodest PC1 fait office de stage d’observation :
eux jouent et créent, lui prend des notes.

That #compaqdeskproen #compaqdeskpro I showed? Got a CPU upgrade! Going from an 800MHz #pentium3 #p3 #pentiumiii to a 1GHz version got a 452 point (21%) increase in PCMark 2002! #compaq #pentium #piii #vintagepc #retropc #oldpc #oldcomputer #retrocomputer #windows2000 #2000snostalgia #coppermine
A screenshot of the MadOnion.com System Info window shows system specs for a Compaq PC running Windows 2000. The CPU is an Intel Pentium III at 797 MHz (800 MHz), with an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500, 512MB of RAM, and motherboard model 0688h by Compaq. The tool version is 2.2. A screenshot of the PCMark2002 Free results screen shows a benchmark with an Intel Pentium III at 800MHz. The scores are: CPU – 2168, Memory – 1481, and HDD – 996. A second MadOnion.com System Info window shows the upgraded specs. The CPU is now an Intel Pentium III at 997 MHz (1 GHz), still paired with the GeForce FX 5500 and 512MB RAM. Free physical memory is listed as 386.52 MB. Motherboard info remains unchanged. Another PCMark2002 Free results screen, now reflecting the upgraded CPU. The scores are improved: CPU – 2626, Memory – 1558, and HDD – 1000, indicating better performance from the 1GHz Pentium III.

The receipt for our first family computer, a 486/SX25 circa 1992. Machine + monitor + printer all for a whopping $1,700...which today would be almost $4,000! Where it all started and led to a lifelong hobby and a career. Thanks, mom & dad. #msdos #retro #vintagepc #pcgaming #qbasic

A retro computer setup in a basement room with exposed insulation on the wall. On the left is a beige IBM Aptiva tower connected to a matching IBM CRT monitor, which displays the puzzle game Zuma Deluxe. In the center is an old Dell mechanical keyboard and a black coffee mug with cream-colored coffee inside. To the right is a white Apple iMac G4, playing an episode of Family Guy featuring the character Lois Griffin. A white Apple keyboard and mouse are placed in front of it, with a stack of CD jewel cases nearby. An IKEA lamp is sitting on top of the Aptiva, and the workspace has a nostalgic, early-2000s tech vibe.

Before I send this to a thrift store, does anybody need a Compaq Enhanced II Keyboard? Has a proprietary connection for a cable I don't have. Don't want to see it go to waste. #Retro #VintagePC #Compaq #Keyboard

I can't stream Saturday, so let's do a quick early Friday morning (9AM eastern) stream to test out the cleaned-up, previously really nasty Commodore PC 20-III from last weekend's stream. You won't lose your breakfast like you lost your lunch last weekend! #vintagepc youtube.com/live/CEgB9h6...
Will the mouse toilet Commodore PC 20-III boot?

In today's "Adventures with my Toshiba T1900C":

Fuse replacement and floppy drive maintenance, including 2 electrolytic caps and a belt. One pad was gone so I had to bodge it.

So glad I have the T1900C to work on so I know what to expect with the T19060CT 😳

This is my first time ever doing an #archlinux install using a #crt! #dell #2000s #2000snostalgia #linux #computermemes #retrocomputer #vintagecomputer #oldcomputer #retropc #oldpc #vintagepc #neofetch
Sitting on a desk in a brightly lit unfinished basement, is an early 2000s computer setup. There is a Dell CRT monitor, a Dell Dimension 2200 computer tower? And a Dell keyboard, all in the signature Dell dark bluish-grey colour they were known for in the early 2000s. The CRT is showing a command line output of Neofetch. It says: root@archiso (the install media) OS: Arch Linux i686 Host: Dimension 2200 Kernel: 6.9.7-arch1-1.2 Uptime: 11 minutes Packages: 406 (pacman) Shell: zsh 5.9 Terminal: /dev/tty1 CPU: Intel Celeron 1200MHz (1) @ 1.196 GPU: Intel 82810E DC-133 Memory: 73MiB / 481MiB

Brought out my 300GL's (1998) older sibling, the 300PL (1997)! 200MHz #pentiummmx, #32mb of #edoram, and #matroxmgamystique graphics! The 300PL is the tower, and the 300GL is the desktop! #classic! #windows98 #90snostalgia #nostalgic #retropc #vintagepc #oldpc #retrocomputer #oldcomputer
Sat on a desk in a basement lit by warm-toned lamps, are two old beige computers and a CRT from the late 1990s. They are all IBM products. The CRT is an IBM 2124, and the desktop-style case that sits underneath it is an IBM Personal Computer 300GL. The computer tower to the left of the CRT and 300GL is an IBM Personal Computer 300PL, and stands almost as tall as the 300GL with the CRT on top of it. There is a black Dell keyboard in front of them, which contrasts as it is not the correct keyboard for the setup. The CRT is displaying the classic Windows 98 desktop showing its classic teal desktop colour, with no windows open. On the desktop, there are a few icons for various things, like Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, SimTheme Park, Diablo, Diablo Spawn, and Diablo II, SimCity 2000, SimCity Urban Renewal Kit, and Zuma Deluxe (which does NOT run well on this machine!).

Amazing! Check this out - I FINALLY have space for a proper #retrocomputer setup! Brought my #ibm 2124 #crt out from storage and set it up with a matching IBM Personal Computer 300GL! #retropc #oldpc #vintagepc #windows98 #90s #90snostalgia #ibmpc #nostalgia #nostalgic
Sitting on a desk in a dimly lit basement with warm lighting is a late 1990s computer setup. An IBM Personal Computer 300GL sits on the desk. It is beige with a blue accent piece, and the 90s IBM vertical slat design. An IBM CRT monitor sits on top of the computer with clear, bright, and uniform image. It is displaying the Windows 98 interface, with the System Properties window open. It shows that it is Windows 98 version 4.10.1998, and is Registered to Richie at UwU Senpai as the company name. This is IBM restore media, so the IBM logo appears in the section where it says “Manufactured and supported by:”. The system specifications are listed as IBM Corporation, IBM Personal Computer, GenuineIntel, Pentium II (2) Processor (I think it’s around 350 megahertz), Intel MMX Technology, and a whopping 384 megabytes of RAM (I got it with a whole 64 megabytes!). There is not much bloat on this clean install of Windows 98 sanctioned from OEM media. On the desktop, there are icons for MSN setup, IBM Welcome software, Software Selections (presumably a software catalog), Lotus SmartSuite, and IBM Internet Connection. There is also Microsoft Channel Guide in the bottom right corner.

A wide angle shot of a computer desk. On the desk to the right is an older IBM ThinkCentre PC, with a Lenovo monitor and a keyboard on it. There’s also a Pepsi bottle on it. On the desk a cup of coffee is visible along with a can of iced tea and a white 75% keyboard. The bigger ultra wide monitor shows a DaVinci Resolve project, and the middle monitor shows a computer screen with the Linux htop program running, and the right-most monitor shows the same ThinkCentre PC.
