This is peak retro home media tech. My HDDVD player is running through my BetaMax player.
๐Ÿค“ ummm that is a Compaq Prolinea 486 desktopโ€ฆ not a Pentium. Bad form Intel. Hopefully that level of quality control doesnโ€™t spill over to your brand new Pentium line.. ๐Ÿซข
I asked for a 4mb memory upgrade as my high school graduation present (1994) brought me up to 8mb and I thought I was in the big leagues.
32mb in a 486. You are living the extreme in 1995.
Weโ€™ve begun the Xenomorph Plastic reunification project

No problem. I tried getting to your table in time but alas was too slow. End of October is fine with me.
So hey @geekenspiel.bsky.social โ€ฆ there is a sadness in my heart. And it can only be filled with geek coastersโ€ฆ.
