Sounds interesting to me!! Not too many people messing with 486 comput on youtube. There are a few but there is room for more of that era of content!!! :)

Back in the day, I installed Win98 on a 486DX4/75, it took 48 HOURS to install, but it ran.
Have you seen Michael MJD?? He makes a lot of video that would be similiar..

One 'neat' thing about my collection is while a lot of it IS retro-computing I also collect 'mantiques' - I intend to highlight some of that stuff on the channel, too! Thanks for yer kind words!
Had a nightmare yesterday morning; spilled an entire 24oz of water in the Dolch keyboard!! LOL - it killed my Saturday plans of working on the Dolch as I am forced to let it dry out for 48hrs since I know it'll be fine if I make sure its completely dry.Hopefully it will be fine.. just give it time to dry out!!! :)

Exodus gets tired of the story but in the summer of 2001 I was shown Windows
OS/2 will need to be pried away from my cold dead hands. And all the problem
Hey Metro rockers - I posted another sucky video this weekend...
Very kewl Paulie420
Keep up with the good stuff!
I had a 486 tower from '93 till..... ohhhhhh probably 2000, 2001, with OS/2 Warp 3 as that was THE system of choice to run a multi-line
Renegade board averaging around a hundred calls a day. It was the only system that could seriously keep up with callers slamming it at
midnight to play the doorgames.
I was a huge fan of OS/2 and that 486 for close to a decade, while every one of my friends at the time were into Windows 95, 98, all that. I
dated a chick that emancipated herself from her parents and rented a Victorian townhome with no furniture whatsoever except a dining room table, a Technics stereo system and a 486 mooching these "MP3" files
from weird IRC chatrooms... priorities.
I laughed it all off that it was all fads, the Internet was a fad, my
486 with OS/2 will need to be pried away from my cold dead hands.
Exodus gets tired of the story but in the summer of 2001 I was shown Windows Server 2000 with its greatly matured Internet, VPN, tape
backups etc
All of this now-cool retro nonsense was an absolute burdon in the 90's, very annoying, "something" to mess around with, am glad those days are behind me.
Hopefully it will be fine.. just give it time to dry out!!! :)
Dude - Windows 2000 was my choice around that time, too - Much better than and didn't get in the weeds like NT did. I was a 2000 guy thru and thru.

Are they???
I miss OS/2. It's just not the same anymore. I know ArcaOS is okay, but OS/2 WARP 3 Connect was the shit. I had boot manager installed, all was wel Miss those days.

You make that much to have bought a toaster in 1997?! You rich man you! hah
Thats what I was running, Warp 3.
Sorry young peeps, but still love the good old day DOS, Win3.1 , 3.0
sucked and of course Warp.

Too bad the Playboy boxers didn't hold up.... one fart and the rabbits died
Frig... Windows 3.x was what drove me to go OS/2...

DESQview is what drove me to OS/2. :)
Let me put this another way. I don't miss the 486 and Pentium boards. The hardware I'm running now is professional grade stuff. I'm not going through 90's-era PSU, motherboard or stupid hard drive problems EVER again especially when mine is a major Fidohub many Sysops expect to
have reliable service.

FAST.... and then 50mhz - and then Cyrix. Man, those were the days - when C^^^^^^^^^^^
OMG - I do. 110% ; they were easier days... I remember when my 486/25 was FAST.... and then 50mhz - and then Cyrix. Man, those were the days - when CP upgrades meant something. We can now live on CPUs for years...

I thought I was the only one that ever brought one of their processors.
Speed wasn't really what I cared about as it was Ram and running OS/2.
Hey, since you're running XP, have you seen legacyupdate.net? I haven't trie it out myself just yet because I found it recently, but it looks like it mig make running the old Windowseseses easier.
Agreed with my in the gargage that 486DX40 I paid at the time 1200.00
for 16 megs of ram.
But, but they were still good times.
I think my 486 cost upwards to the tune of $2,000+ CDN, with 12 meg Ram, 40 harddrive, and 4xPanasonic CD-ROM drives attached to a Sound Blaster Pro.

(Smile) like I stated before, the good old days!
Had a choice during purchase either to get OS/2 or Windows NT 3.1.
If it wasn't for my lack of skill at the time to make Fossil work on NT thi would of been different.
Imagining the upgrade path... NT 3.1, 3.5, 3.51, 2000, XP... yikes
But yes... unlikely I'll ever exceed the I7 here. Maybe we kinda peaked at how fast we can go, at least for now or until someone invents a new production method.
Laughing I went the path of NT 3.1 and up but always played with OS/2
While I look back I wish I would have just stayed with OS/2 I would
have saved a lot of money.
Also I didn't know what a sick prick Bill Gates is then, I have 9 PC's
and four laptops around all but one is Windows, the more I read about
Bill Gates the more I move to linux. I'm about 98% linux now.

I think I was reading AMD was working on a 6GHz. processor.
Those ATI video cards and Mach32, Mach64... whatever the card was. The one which the diehard OS/2 community swore up and down was the "right" videocar to buy, I bought one. And it lasted about two weeks with its bugridden mess drivers. Ohhhh it has to be my OS/2, did you try reinstalling? Repairing?
Been there done that, man if I had all the money I bought cappy hardware
and mostly software that came from over seas I'd have a load of cash
right now.
Can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Welllllllll.... I remember that I had to buy hardware that was OS/2-friendl which if I remember was slightly more expensive than just the average hardware that would work perfectly with Windows.
Renders porn in 4k? 8k?

I always hated looking for OS/2 drivers for stuff. I used to come back with no name CD-ROM drives and then spend days looking for a driver for it.

I think 12k. :)

Same here... I just gave up and hopped on the Microsoft bandwagon.
He now sells McDonalds all their potatoes.
Good old Bill Gates and GMO, makes you wonder China & Russia both don't
allow GMO in their country.
Yeah, and what worries me is he's got crazy ideas about feeding chemicals t the masses.
country that have a stnding arrest warrent on Gates that he can't even
inter there country.
Haha, no. I'll have to look this up :).

I enjoy using Linux! I use Debian & Ubuntu and I'll never go back to... t guy who experiments on orphan children in India.
