My only gripe with the iMac G4 has to do with the footprint it takes on the desk. If you like your monitor tall, no problem. I like my monitor to be close to the keyboard. So by the time I pull it down that far, the iMac G4 takes as much room on a desk as an old-fashioned CRT.

buy a cheap 8-13" tablet with a good screen, and a stand for it, it will be cheaper, weigh less, and you can go with only one of the 2. If you use a tablet with a pen you could get a wacom cintiq (you can't use it by itself except for the companion and it's expensive though), or an asus vivo tab note 8+a wacom feel stylus (or a samsung s pen with eraser, the original stylus doesn't have one and it's pretty annoying.).

The Uncanny One Vista had a bad rap on release because it was forced out before drivers were ready.. just like Windows 10, but look at all the people actually using 10 and approving of it. Well, it was also the first real upgrade in Windows for many years, so the hardware requirements got bumped up, which rendered people's old shitty PCs unable to run it well. This was made even worse by system manufacturers who released systems with low RAM, leading to an incredibly slow system (stock Vista needs like 1GB just for the OS to run properly, I've seen Vista systems with 512MB; it was a nightmare). In the end, it suffered a sad fate due to people's ignorance and Microsoft jumped ship and released Windows 7; which was Vista SP3. The only real difference is that they changed the taskbar and made the UI generally worse for power users (and removed all classic features dating back to 95).. which lead to Classic Shell and 7+ Taskbar Tweaker coming out. Other than that, it is seriously just Vista with a slightly different UI skin; and it was praised by those ignorant people who condemned Vista. And now here we are today where people are still bashing Vista despite 8 and 10 being objectively worse OS's for power users or older people who have used XP/Vista/7 for many years and can't learn an entirely new UI.

I've been looking for something like that for years for use as dyno tuning laptop. And I know others in the industry would snap them up if they were say 2 screen and more industrial build quality but even as they are now they would be a great help. We all have to use 2 laptops just for screen space for running the dyno software and the tuning software simultaneously with multiple real time graphs and tables open at once in full view. If you' say why not a normal PC? bit hard to have a desktop PC in your car with keyboard and mouse and 2 monitors while driving the car on the dyno at the same time lol. Laptops are a feasible way as you can just put it on the seat. 2 laptops are doable by putting the back rest down to make a sort of table to sit them on. I suppose making some rig to hold a small desktop monitor and extending a laptop VGA to it would work but....

would not help with road tests but since on a dyno a car does not go anywhere, I am surprised nobody has a rig that would let you swing two LCDs in front of the windshield... combine with wireless mouse and keyboard. only way to do this afaik would be some custom fabricated swing arm with a pair of VESA mounts attached.
@3800S1
@3800S1 7 жыл бұрын
Kinda of defeats the purpose as nearly all new dynos have and often come with wireless option. besides having the monitors outside of the car would make it too hard to see details due to the distance, the tables cells are 1/10th the size of your typical excel cells, just so you can see the complete table which is essential. And its not just one table, you typically work with 4-6 tables on one PC alone (not to mention the other 20-30 odd available to adjust) , the other operating the dyno has a heaps of graphs and controls. The ultimate solution is a multiple screen laptop. if only 2 screens would be suffice, 3 like the razor would be be a bonus. One screen the dyno control software, the other screen the tuning software window and the last screen a mosaic of all the used tables and histograms from the tuning software. I wonder what the price of this razor laptop is?

Sometimes computers from those times had a weird BIOS. I have even heard of proprietary power supplies that look like a standard one at first glance but wired different. I am so happy that trend has not caught on. Computers from that time and earlier were sometimes difficult enough to get working with the jumpers on the motherboards. I still remember spending most of a day with instructions trying to figure out jumpers. It was a nightmare!!

Man that was a blast from the past, being a 2000s baby I love this dated design language. I remember in kindergarten we had those little tikes computers in all of the classes, I also remember seeing them in the Nashville airport. My dad had one of those weird pocket PCs, he is a higher up at Microsoft so we always had cool tech around. When he got it he also got me one of those “Windows 7 was my idea” shirts. Finally I remember one of my friends had that Disney computer, those speakers were the worst things on the planet. Thanks Clint for taking me down memory lane

I really wanted, and actually _still_ kind of want, an OQO Model 2. They pre-dated smartphones being good and accessible, and absolutely predated tablets like the Surface. So small, so portable, so _unfortunate_ they ran Vista, and, unrelatedly, the company went out of business. I really want a company to revive that form factor one day. We can't all take a laptop everywhere we go.

The iMac G4 was a technical nightmare! First of all, when you were upgrading the RAM, after removing the bottom plate with a philips screwdriver, it was a 144 pin SODIMM that you installed there. However, on the inside of the iMac on the top side of the logic board you put a 184 pin standard DIMM. Also, that system was not designed for everyday users to take apart. They put a seal on the heat pipe that went from the logic board off the CPU and up the side of the inside of the case that fed close to the top. When you would use a T-15 Torx to take the bottom screws out to take the case off, it was really hard to open the case and break that seal. Then everything was crammed inside the thing soooooo tightly that there is no way the thing could move a lot of air. Putting it back together, you had to clean the heat pipes completely and replace the heatsink compound every time you opened the case. Since you mentioned the G4 Cube, it too was a complete piece of junk. You could overheat the thing with a piece of paper covering the top hole of the unit. Plus, they advertised with AGP Graphics, but no AGP Graphics slot on the logic board. Oh, and don't forget the eMac, the educational version of the iMac that had paper thin wires attached to the button that was built into the case that would attach to the logic board and would break if you weren't paying attention to unplug it first. Just my two cents worth!

Another good one that I owned (and still have) was the round oversized hockey puck shaped SONY VAIO VGX-TP20E/B. It was a home theater PC for watching TV and movies with DVR capabilities using Windows Home Edition. The ATI cable units using cablecards were bulky and buggy, thus killing off this strange niche market to run a computer on your TV. Even Microsoft later dropped the TV viewing function of Windows in later versions.

But the OQO Model 02 still works well. Currently it runs Debian Linux, but I still have an image of the original Windows installation and I think I also have a CD. Comes with a belt carry pouch, the charger and a extension dongle (Ethernet, VGA port, ..).

I worked at a Compusa in the early 2000s, and one computer we carried at one point, I kind of wish I would have gotten. I don't remember the brand, but it was made for LAN parties. it was about the size of a game cube, and had a handle on the front. I kept waffling between getting it or building my own gaming machine, which the one I built probably was better in power, but it was monsterly huge. The little LAN Party one would have come in handy though since my friends and I did LAN Parties.

This is such a great video. There are so many shitty channels out there that put out only this kind of content, but feel the need to turn it into a numbered list with awful transitions and poor voice editing, and even poorer voice acting. Often including borders that take up the screen for no added value topped off with little relevant information and annoying attempts at humor. You nailed it. I just came out of a few list videos for things such as "25 cancelled gameboy advance games" and "13 worst pcs of the early 2000s" and they had so many more views, but were just awful. I love your content, I've been a long time fan. I feel like you deserve more recognition. Thank you for putting out some of the best content on youtube.
