First LGR donations unboxing for 2021, and it's a big one! All kinds of classic computer hardware, software, oddware, retro games, and vintage technology. Massive thanks to everyone who contributed - and also made offers to do so! Can't wait to dive deep into all this stuff as time allows.

When I was in middle school, my father worked on the MWave team at IBM. Every once in a while he would take my brother and me into the lab where they had a huge walk-in closet of video games they used to test the hardware and we would get to "check out" games to take home and play for a few weeks. I hadn't thought about that in years and seeing you unbox that MWave card reminded me. Good times, terrible card.

[@retropuffer2986]

At my local thrift store there's literally 1 or 2 guys that stand by the electronics section to sweep up what little makes it through to the shelves.

[@AdamIsUrqed]

Same here. It got so bad that Goodwill jacked up the price. Last foray, I scoped a 286 with monitor, disc storage packed full (tape sealed), a mouse, keyboard, and joystick going for $188.00. I spent the late 90's cobbling together 286-486 DK towers and giving them away to mates who just needed something to tinker with or do reports on.

Ironically all the things I sent to Clint (minus the RAM) were from my local Goodwills. Just gotta keep digging and sometimes you'll find some things you never expect.

Same, the only things my Goodwills have are PS/2 keyboards and old speakers, with maybe a tape deck thrown in around once a month. Never anything worth getting.

Thank you, Clint, for a brilliantly chilled video after a long, stressful week. I had a similar Timex watch back in the day. It was built like a brick and quite huge for my rather slim wrist. Sync worked with CRTs only (although there was an LED thingie available as an extra for LCD screen users).
