This is a technology variety channel. I film in-depth overviews and demonstrations of 20th century electrical and electronic equipment, including computers, audio and video equipment, and much more.
My name is Florence, and I am a television producer based in the province of New Brunswick in Canada. I got my first camcorder at the age of 11, and founded this RU-vid channel at the age of 14. I hold a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Electrical Engineering.
I am a member of the LGBT community, and this channel is an LGBT-positive space.
I think they include the jumper to power up the power supply on it's own for priming a water cooling loop. That's what I thought anyways because I had one of those come with a reservoir kit I bought like 2 years ago in 2012... wait...
I own this TV and when I bought it in 2006 I asked the salesman Where’s the 1080 P model bc i did some research on HD tvs. He said there is nothing called 1080 P it’s only 1080i. I told him to go check the Internet that there was research on it. So he did and said wow I’ve never heard of it. In 2007 the next year 1080 P was introduced into the TV market and the rest is history. I knew it was the right choice!
i love to surf (microweb, ie 2.1) and chat (mirc, mtcp ircjr) with this one. i have a oem version of this laptop, it is branded "microspot", and fully identical to the epson branded ones. i use a xircom pocket ethernet adapter with it.
I found a western electric 544 today at an antique shop. It’s made for a key system but it only has 4 keys. Mine came with the original kind cord to. Apparently it’s rare so I might sell it because I don’t have a key system.
Not a bad machine, kind of like a larger version of my X31. The CPU isn't fast by today's standards but I'd agree that there's no need to upgrade. I mainly just use mine for faxing and my 1.6GHz CPU is more than enough.
What a neat little machine. I got two Thinkpads myself, a fairly modern X390 and my good old T430s (old by years, not by usability with an SSD, 8 gigs Ram and i5 processor). Thinkpads are just great computers!
Hi this video is amazing thanks so much! I actually come from the skateboard world and I was wondering why this camera I got looked so familiar lol but I was wondering how you get the tape to the computer? Like how do you get what you filmed onto the computer and be able to edit it?
You need a computer with a FireWire port and the WinDV software which can be downloaded free. If you have a desktop PC you can buy a PCI-e FireWire card for cheap.
People will post up to reddit/FB of them using these old machines calling it "Hey guis! Look at my new dailery driver!" - it's such BS just for attention. I love thinkpads, but some of all'yall are attention seekers.
As a kid, when I saw a ThinkPad, I always thought they look super cool. They looked vastly different from all the other laptops. These colored logos, all these bells and whistles. IBM knew how to make pretty laptops back then that are also very functional and reliable. I'm not found of Lenovo at all in contrast to that. I wish IBM would still make ThinkPads to this day, although I think the way IBM operates is not really sustainable these days anymore for making laptops. In the 80s it took them SEVEN years to design a printer... They were so strict with their internal processes, that it slowed them down a lot.
What a fun little laptop that seems to be. I'm especially intrigued by the Windows 98 compatibility. Sadly, I no longer have any ThinkPads, old or new, but they are still some of the coolest laptops ever made, especially Gen 4 i series and older.
17:05 and now you know where my RU-vid intro jingle comes from. That's been an easter egg I've had for years as a throwback to my IBM ThinkPad R51 that the channel was originally named after lol.
Nice one! I own an R51 as well as you know, being my first laptop and this one looks quite similar, guess that makes sense since the R51 is the lower-end variant of the T42. I've also not owned another vintage pre-Lenovo ThinkPad, a friend of mine has an X24 that they wanted to sell and I did express interest in buying it from them, however I sorta forgot about it and I'm not sure if they still have it. It would be a cool one to own since I've always wanted an early X-series ThinkPad. Never quite felt the need to own a T4x laptop though, as my R51 fills that need and I'd rather keep the R51 due to sentimental value. That particular T40 either didn't come with Wi-Fi or came with a non-Intel Wi-Fi card from the factory, since it has the original Pentium M badge instead of a Centrino badge. The Centrino badges were applied to denote a laptop that came with the trifecta of a Pentium M CPU, Intel 855 chipset, and an Intel 802.11g Wi-Fi card. My R51 has this combo and also shows the Centrino logo during POST. Removing the Wi-Fi card changes the logo in POST as well so if you added an Intel Wi-Fi card to this you'd get the Centrino logo during POST, same if you changed the CPU to something like a Celeron M, you'd get a Celeron logo during POST. Looks like that one has had a BIOS update at some point though since it has the newer 2006-era Pentium logo during the POST instead of the original. Fun fact about the tri-colour IBM logo, it was originally intended to denote colour display models of first-generation ThinkPads. Monochrome equipped ThinkPads had a standard blue logo like you'd have on a PS/2, whereas the coloured ones have the RGB logo, and the RGB logo was kept since eventually all models would ship with a colour screen. I also miss the power-control beeps for low battery, sleep/wake and when you connect/disconnect from power that classic ThinkPads had. I think the T420 was the last model to use these. I also own one of those and used it as my primary laptop for quite a long time. None of the newer machines I've owned or used for work have the power control beeps which is kind of sad since the more modern ThinkPads feel a bit soulless.
I just picked up this camera in near-mint condition for $50 from a local facebook seller. Looks like the battery is dead on it but I'm able to record on it. It's a huge step up from the other camera I got this year a CCD-TR100. The recording quality on this thing is way, way better, and everything else seems to knock it out of the park. Very too to see another fellow Canadian following this old tech stuff as well! Loved the Presidents Choice commercial from almost a decade ago :) I'm not sure if you're familiar with domesday project or vhs-decode, but this camera is compatible with that type of digitization stuff so I'm going to see how it plays out with my old family videos from the 90s!
There is a waaaaay better version of this game that I think you should check out! Hiro manufactured this lcd in the mid 90’s for mga and would make many other games for them. However in the year 2000 hiro released there own pac man handheld which is awesome! It resembles the arcade original and has way better sound effects! It was also sold by zeon tech
@@dirsors It's not ridiculous at all - very normal in the broadcast industry. You had recorders in your control room and your edit suite, and then a fleet of playback-only machines for on-air playback. Made it more economical for servicing and replacing machines.
Question, I just got the same camera. However, I can't get the mic to work. I am missing the microphone attachment and wondering if you know it by any chance can still record audio or do you need the mic attachment? thanks! :)
