Finally posted a new vid today!

Taking a look at the history of 3dfx and the development of the original Voodoo Graphics.

It’s got everything! Game footage captured from the card, benchmarks, jabs at nVidia…

Enjoy!

What could have been a dozen separate videos is instead one 48-minute marvel.

When replacing the caps on your retro gear logic boards, be sure to also replace any damaged googly eyes with the correct type for your machine.

Toshiba’s Libretto series is an icon of vintage tiny laptops. I came across one in almost perfect condition…except for one problem. New video!

Apple have been very cagey on the origins of the Brundlemac. All were unique, most were generally compatible with one another, but all had one or two ports that didn't seem to connect to anything else.

"...the occasional moaning and sighing is the worst part, but if the ominous error dialogs and expressions of terror at being shut down don't put you off, you'd do worse than this very well priced bundle. In some markets, Apple are paying customers to take Brundlemacs" - MacWorld, September 1997.

Some people have wondered why the #PicoGUS is as tall as it is and here’s why: to fit big boi wavetable cards like this one. It’s also why there are holes for mounting standoffs.

Another angle showing how the cards connect via the pin headers on the PicoGUS. Plastic standoffs help hold the wavetable card.

⌨⬛ This is the NeXT computer. Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau used it at CERN to set up the first web server, id Software developed games like Doom and Quake on it, and at Slovenian daily newspaper Delo they used it to digitize the entire newspaper production process.

This keyboard haunts me... It's got a "caps lock" key so of course it also needs a "caps unlock" key.
