The Apple II was a remarkable machine, back when Apple actually encouraged people to mod their computers. Lots of expansion. Sort of the PC before the PC with scads of software support across all sectors. Practical, expandable, and fun. Now to boot mine up and play another round of Bolo (For the glory of the Dinochrome Brigade!)

Okay, very good....when you check with the Apple IIc plus the speed of your mobile phone? 😉

the imagic games in my oppinion were the best. the inlays were awesome.

the yellowing is fixable if you wash it ahd let it sit overnight with a uv lamp

I upgraded a Lenovo SL510 with an SSD and Linux Mint: MATE Edition. I then upgraded to 8Gb of DDR3 RAM. I love it. It runs like a champ. Kiss Windows goodbye. Embrace Linux. God bless Linus Torvalds and Eric S. Raymond.

A ‘flimsy’ power brick is actually the best kind. It uses a switching power supply. The heavy ones use a line frequency transformer which is not a great thing around a turntable cartridge.

I have over 400 cassettes, some are as old as 55 years and play as new. I have a twin tape deck, a single high end tape deck and 2 Walkmans. They play like new still.

Have you heard of Fur Squadron & Whisker Squadron?

Why would anyone trust this guy’s review when he admits to ripping people off selling turntables in vinyls heyday…for one he doesn’t look old enough to have been doing that in the 70s or 80s…..secondly he doesn’t know what he’s talking about……he criticised the unconventional dust cover on the denon saying it has to be removed entirely before playing a record……no shit Sherlock, everyone knows that playing a record with the dust cover on transmits vibration from the cover to the deck and onto the cartridge and colours the sound .

They have the Mark Dice music in the intro. Awesome!!

Where can you get a stereo radio cassette player serviced and repaired by an expert in britain 2024, i have a lot of cassettes , and my player is top portable sound when all. is working well

I enjoy the texture and the feeling of it which isn't crazy but I enjoy it

My first PC was a Tandy 1000 RL Harddrive model. (I still have it) My dad bought it for me for Christmas and sprung for the upgraded 1.44MB floppy drive, but not the 1000 RLX version which had a 286 and VGA graphics.

Need something to play in my old cars

I still have all my cassettes from the 80's and 90's. All TDKs SA and SA-X. Still play perfectly. They were stored for some 25 years when last year I bought an 80's JVC Deck, AMP, Tuner and Turntable combo. I am so grateful I kept them. It's an incredible feeling to hold them in your hands and loading them to the Deck and watch the solenoids play. Such nostalgia. I was a teenager in the 80's and it brings me back to those wonderful times.

I understand this is 2 years old but one thing you fail to understand is vinyl is expensive and takes up a lot of room once you start getting a good collection going. As a way to get a physical piece of memorabilia cassettes are pretty cool and cheap and at least in regards to Bandcamp when you buy a cassette you also get the digital download. Will I listen to my cassettes? Maybe once but I'll display them and then listen to the mp3s.

I think cassettes have an aesthetic to them, especially the Sony Walkman. The clicks and clacks, the physicality. I think some people are in it for nostalgia, some are in it for pure aesthetics, some might be looking to get away from the internet and all these corporations trying to manipulate us. That being said I think I would just prefer an mp3 player........ I understand no company will want to sell digital files because of piracy, but I really do just want to listen to a file without being connected to the internet. I LOVE audiobooks, at my job I basically just listen to audiobooks all day, I just don't want to use audible because Amazon is a shady company. I want to get away from ALL of my subscription plans. I am moving back to a flip phone. I think I want to have separate devices for separate things, if you have one device to do everything it makes you to reliant on that device and it opens up to many opportunities for a company to try and have leverage over you. I have owned mostly android phones and you basically can't use them without submitting to Google. Google feels that they have power over me, I want to end that.

I would say the last IBM Thinkpad is the one that says IBM all over it. So nowhere Lenovo to be found. That is - at least - in my view the decent last IBM Thinkpad. And it should say by IBM and not for IBM. The Centrino CPU gives me the spots and itchiness in the same way an Atom, Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Celeron CPU does. I saw folding screens, like your ASUS does, but then the keys would sink into the case. So it was more or less flat. But still an odd feeling / mindset to it. Luckely both my HP Touchscreen laptops have 360 screens like the X41 has.

I miss my sl1200MK2 but with the used market asking ridiculous prices for a used in "good condition " 1200, i may consider the flunace

I've never had the chance to try an Intellivision, The Disc Controllers Amazed Me, but Never had the Chance. I just got one for $40.00, the Box is Rough, but the System is MINT! No Dust Even, but the Damn this gives me Issues, Wont Boot past the BIOS screen, Pulling/Replacing the Cart causes different MATTEL letters to Change Color LOL

Vinyl fans may have already commented, but please don't store your disc brush in the open. It will collect room dust as it sits now next to your turntable. ~

Actually, I'm actually the actually guy, and I'm actually proud of it ;-)

Excellent video. You produce such quality! Makes me wish I owned an IBM back in the day. Beautiful machines. Those blue XP screens are absolutely delicious in contrast to the black cases and red accents on those IBM tablet-style convertibles. Wow. Works of art, really. I imagine a world where Gary Kildall wasn't out flying his plane and CP/M and DRI became DOS and Microsoft. Gary. not being much of an entrepreneur, has no interest in helping out the clones and IBM eventually just buys the OS from him and the clones never crowd out IBM and we end up with two worlds - Apple and IBM, instead of IBM compatible. Just fuel for thought.

Make digadita dollars on account with the money Chip info a but your account with your info

how did u miss dead space extraction.Definately up there

i use cds cus they last longer

Somehow the Apple // people think their baby is "better" than the C64 / Vic 20. Hah. IBM took the static CP/M world, and accelerated development radically through marketing. Investment yields results.

0:04 Hi-res for nothing/on the cheap? CDs.

The only good reason for BOTH cassettes and vinyl is nostalgia. Objectively both are crap when compared to lossless digital formats.

I used tapes in the car and bus I drove well into the 2000's because of their robustness and CD burners weren't really a thing yet, kids made their own mixtapes to play too on the bus to rock on in to school. I did eventually upgrade both to CD when vehicle CD players became decent and when CD burners took over and never looked back. Do I miss tapes? No. I'll keep my CD's 🤘

Bought a WM-F202, not an easy fix either. I have auto reverse works intermittently, sometimes not working at all. It turns out the solenoid gets a little too sticky with the green lever, so I put some Molykote between the solenoid and the green lever and the auto reverse works more reliably since.

Aah Laplink! 🙂

Full automatic wasn't a high end feature. A second hand Dual CS 731 Q will blow these tables out of the water btw.

I own 5 thinkpads starting with 2004 model T42 “made for Lenovo by IBM” - the one that still has no Lenovo logos anywhere. Then 2009, 2013,2016, 2021 models. All of them still work fine despite bad abuse. Dropped and smashed into, one of them was literally punched hard, one had beer spilled onto… The ultimate business machine. My latest one is the P1 and it’s a tank. I’m in IT, and have many machines, Mac, hp, dell, asus… my personal machines are always thinkpads.

I realize this is now over 7 years old, but it's worth noting that the CPU speed wasn't crippled by Jobs. The problem was actually poor yield with faster 65C816 chips. And Jobs couldn't have crippled the IIGS if he had wanted to: he left Apple a year before it was released. All covered (in great detail) in "The Apple IIGS Megahertz Myth".

I use this stuff for chiptunes. Sorry, emulation is too nice sounding for what I'm aiming for. I want the glitches. I want the noise. Emulation is bad at giving me a historically accurate performance. I'm not looking for order and reliability. I want the kind of chaos I grew up with. Every time I hear Soundblaster emulation I think well, that sounds way to nice for me to enjoy 😂

The DAT was pretty much killed by the recording industry because you could make a perfect copy of a recording. God forbid should we have that. That was before the Pandora's Box that was opened by MP3 in the late 90's.

"Listening to music on the go." Honestly, the cassette was the MP3 before the MP3.

You are absolutely right about turntable sound, its just bullshit. The point of a turntable is not to have a sound at all! However, the making the turntable silent does cost money! I had a new SL 1200G and swapped for an SL1000R, trust me the difference is audible, particularly when using a moving coil cartridge. Is it 4 times better???? Of course not! You are also correct about your digital vs analog sound, but also to your point, if you listen to music from the golden age of vynil, vynil sounds better than the digital versions on the market. IMO, if you want a state of the art turntable that is well worth its price its the still expensive but superbly capable SL1200G. Loved your to the point, factual, excellent vid!

Interestingly, I prefer cassettes over vinyls. I guess the main reasons are ease of use, durability, wider compatibility/accessibility, and nostalgia. I was never a vinyl guy, even though I had a few of them, playing them was a hassle, but I guess to each their own. :) Nowadays it feels nice to play old cassettes and even record something onto them (including my own music production). The metal tapes are insanely expensive, it's ridiculous. It's hard to find them anywhere else than Ebay which is aimed at collectors which I am not, I want those tapes for actual use.

no! tape sucks!!!! cds are better!! cds and blu ray are superior

Pepsi was originally called Brad's drink after Brad the founder in 1893, My parents always drank Pepsi, or RC

I'm a ThinkPad fan too, I own a W510, a W541 and now a P53, all three i7 with Quadro video of different generations. But my writing machine is one that took me a while to find and restore, I'm talking about a 2000 IBM ThinkPad Transnote with Windows 2000 that works perfectly with the pen and everything, it's the rarest and most revolutionary ThinkPad I've ever seen, I'm going to make a video of it in a few days, it reminds me a lot of the X41T in your video but in a vintage sense. Great video!

I want one for my nintendo collection

Only products made by ❤Nakamichi ❤ is the actual reason why cassatte are coming back

Give it up. It's never coming back. The reasons are many, and there is no getting past them.

I had Commodore computers in the 1980's. A VIC-20, a Commodore 64, then a Commodore 128. Then in 1990 I got my first PC, a 80286 12MHz AT clone running MS DOS 5.0.
