Einstein Posted April 20, 2015 Report Posted April 20, 2015 AMC has a new show called Halt and Catch Fire that premiered on June 1, 2014. It depicts the dawn of the age of the personal computer. I was reminded of this when I saw Shnappz post something about liking retro-looking computers in the Alien: Isolation thread. Anyway, its an interesting show. Check it out on IMDB here. It is available on AMC and Netflix. 0 Quote
Shnappz Posted April 20, 2015 Report Posted April 20, 2015 That sounds like something that would interest me a lot. Will check it out.. I find the history of computing intriguing... I was even considering buying an old acorn or apple 2 to have in my house to piss about on. 1 Quote
Omar007 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Posted April 20, 2015 Talking about old hardware, I still have an old Windows 3.11 laptop that is still in working order. It's heavy as fuck and at least 5 centimetres thick 1 Quote
Shnappz Posted April 20, 2015 Report Posted April 20, 2015 I'm trying to buy one of them off ebay at the moment, I'm bidding gbp 10.00 for an old toshiba with dos/3.1 on it! 0 Quote
Einstein Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Posted April 21, 2015 As long as you can get working hardware, the OS isn't hard to install nowadays. Even the really old ones. Hold on, i might actually have some old hardware i would part with....... 0 Quote
