Hey guys, I've been having this idea for a while, and it's time to put it into action. Here you can post all of your old tech. A/V, computers, etc. Got a phonograph? Post it! Got a groovy 70's turntable, post it! Speaking of turntables, this is my little gem. It's a functioning Sony PS-LX210 automatic turntable. The audio out doesn't work, but you can stand near it and listen to the needle. Always fun. :D

OS/2 2.0 German installation floppy disk. Number one of twenty-one.

Sorry about the crappy picture quality, I used the crappy camera in my mobile phone to take the snapshot.

It may not have a dial, but it doesn't have on screen display...

Didn't know Obama wasn't ahead.

I'm off to look through my shed to find my old gear then I'll post back, does it have to be anything technology not just computers, etc?

Obama is ahead, but by 3 points. That was just a "likely voters" poll, which is a poll of people who voted in 2004, but all of the college students (first time voters) are going to vote for Obama, at least that's how it seems.

This disk(one of 11) belongs with an old 286. Has a bunch of old-time computer things around it(dot matrix printer, old externel modem, and a crap load of 5 1/4 in. floppies). it still kind of works, but only in DOS because of RAM issues.

I didn't know they had powerpoint for DOS. :D

Look closely... it's Powerpoint for Windows.

Pity that I got rid of the old 5 1/4" floppy disks a long time ago. MS-DOS 3.3 or Windows 1.03 would really be vintage tech.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
