Thank you Michael for this wonderful video. Always great to see vintage software. I recently helped someone do a garage sale and i managed to get a lot of old software and even managed to get around 50 floppy disks which to me was a throw back to my childhood.

If I recall correctly, Windows 1.0 was only available for the DEC Rainbow 100. The first IBM PC version was 1.01. Regardless, very neat to see such an early copy of Windows complete in the box.

[@SidewaysCytlan]

This channel and everyone who watches (and even send stuff in!) are so wholesome. Thank you all for being awesome!

[@TheCoolDave]

It's nice and really special that people sent that stuff into you but, Windows 1.01, or 1.03 boxed? That is freaking cool to find. Very rare to see. I've seen one on the past and someone was asking good money for it. Today, most I have with Windows 1.03 is a VM with it, just to play with time to time. I do think out of the reto OS, Windows 95/98 get the most use as there was plenty of cool games.....

[@JoystickDivision]

I wish I could post pictures in the comments, but I just had a look at my boxed copy of Windows and it's a 1.0! It also has an 'International Version' sticker on it. I also have a copy of Microsoft Multiplan 2.0 and two copies of Microsoft Word 2.0. They all have the slip covers (is that considered 'boxed'?) and one of my copies of Word has all of its documentation still sealed.

[@thepurestofboredom1219]

I remember a classmate using that webcam/camera on a school trip in 2009 and I remember being intrigued by it. Maybe I’ll get one and try it myself.

[@BilisNegra]

Alternatively, if you don't find one of those you can always try sticking an USB cable into a potato...

Oh you really should do a video on Xenix, it's funny to think about how MS used to have the most popular UNIX on the market, I'm sure the two main reasons for ending support were 1) licensing costs to AT&T and 2) the popularity of MS-DOS w/ Windows Another video idea (or part of Xenix video) might be about Mariner (MS Linux) and/or SONiC (MS and Community supported MS Linux).

I had that same pen camera/webcam. Pretty sure I got it at Fry's in Houston. I used it mostly for taking pictures though. The webcam was bad compared to a quickcam. The images were not that good either but okay for what it was. Appreciate it took video too.

Is there a list of all the stuff you have? I used to work at Egghead Software’s corporate store and later on was the software manager for CompUSA in the same city after Egghead shut down. I still have so much old stuff but already tossed a bunch, unfortunately one was even an OG WebTV, we got a lot of focus from vendors since we were the corporate location.

I remember buying a new laptop and the first thing I learned to do with new laptops was to 'delete' either McAfee or Norton. Both pieces of software pretty much slowed the startup of the computer. Both used to take an age to uninstall....

[@VideoGamerExpert5]

wow what a Great Haul seeing a Boxed Copy of Windows 1.00 with Windows Paint & Write and the Addendum to the 1.03 Version update guide! can't wait to see what Michael does with Windows 1.00! and also seeing Virtual Springfield ha that's something! keep up the great Videos Michael

[@egbront1506]

It's actually version 1.03 as the diskettes show. This seems to be the most common retail version. Mine came with some extra printer driver diskettes for some reason and I still have the perspex box that some of Microsoft's software came in. The next version 1.04 came in a box with completely redesigned artwork. That one seems less common for some reason and I'd love a copy myself. The donor is super generous as that is several $00s worth of software.

[@tonykjv]

Very cool video, always been a fan of boxed software as well :)

[@HeadsetGuy]

Definitely looking forward to that Rescue Kit. I beg of you, please archive them (with the write-protect tabs set).

[@Bit125_]

I only found a deleted blogspot blog related to that one camera, and with the help of the WayBack Machine, i found that it had some kind of download file. I was not able to find much information, unfortunately.

[@jeffrey.lebowski]

I won one of those digital cameras for Cub Scout popcorn sales as a kid. It never worked, made the “usb failed” sound when plugged into our then Windows XP computer. Even with the help of support we couldn’t get it to work. They sent a new one as a replacement, and it did the exact same thing: didn’t work, usb failed sound in XP. To this day it is the only USB device that has made the failed to connect sound.

[@MrFluteboy1980]

That webtop box would make an excellent sleeper build

[@nicoruizmza]

I had that digital camera, it was very very basic but it served as a webcam and photos. Good old memories

[@eugiblisscast]

I'd love to see a video about Xenix! 🎉

[@MichaelMJD]

Thanks so much!

[@MarcKloos]

The earliest version of Windows I used was 1.02TC which came with a Tulip PC (Dutch brand) at school. The PC only had 2 floppy drivers so to get it to work I setup a RAM disk and copied one floppy to it. It didn't have a mouse so I learned to use the keyboard shortcuts (still prefer to use Alt-F4 to this day) and I got to show it to my classmates by the teacher! That was back in... 1988 or 89 I guess? Obviously it didn't come on that nice box, the floppies sat in transparent sleeves in the ring bound computer manual.

[@tommysconcepts]

Good video as usual MJD! This sort of stuff is very interesting to me

[@JustWowNick]

If you haven’t already, you should do a video on arcsoft photoimpression 3.0. Have my own copy that was sitting in my moms old desk for well over a decade, it’s pretty fun to mess around with and look at all the 90s UI.

[@j.w.techchannel]

So much awesome software in this video. I hope to see a video about Windows 1.0 soon 👍

[@zgamez129]

amazing! though i'm especially interested in the webcam. hope to see a video on it soon!

[@pANZERNOOb]

I totally had that exact model of digital camera growing up in the early 2000s. The USB port was Mini USB though

[@electricperfume7870]

I recognize the girl on chick 12, Araela warrior nun! One of my favorites.

[@mfbfreak]

3:57 i still have one of those sitting around. It was our first digital camera way back in 2000-2003. It was incredibly shitty, it outright refused to take a picture if it deemed that it would be a bit underexposed, it was bottom of the barrel web cam quality, but it made me a decent amount of money on online auction/classifieds sites, because back in those days advertisements with actual pictures included were very rare, and i was one of the first to sell stuff with a picture. Ours was branded Aiptek Pen Cam and not totally cheap, but 99 guilders or euro (idk anymore if we bought it before or after the introduction of the euro) was *the* cheapest digital camera out there at the time.

[@Richiecandylover]

OMG that’s my first ever webcam I’ve ever owned!! Don’t know where we got it from in the UK!! Ours didn’t have a branding! Used it for years in MSN Messenger

[@psychorabbitt]

Way back when I had that exact Philips Magnavox WebTV keyboard, though I used it with the WebTV Plus.

[@MattExzy]

Wow, I didn't have that exact webcam, but I do now remember a lot of these cheap ones had a viewfinder to work as a 'regular' camera - the quality of which was insanely bad. You could have a better digital image by taking a regular film photograph, having it developed, and then scanning the print.

[@stephanieiwaniuk6088]

Hi Michael! The "Chick" CD ROMs are a digital doujinshi (indie magazine/comic) publication made by a manga artist called Odagami Mio. The one you're showing to the camera is Volume 6 of her coverage on what she's calling an overseas Comiket convention (Comiket is a doujinshi sales event kind of like anime cons overseas). The features on that disc are a trip report in Seattle (She went to Microsoft HQ and shows off stuff like the cafeteria menu inside, talks about the relationship between Microsoft and Starbucks, saw Bill Gates' personal parking lot, and also some general Seattle things like Bruce Lee's memorial), an interview with an American voice actor talking about how they went from fan dubs to being a professional VA, and info about one of her own manga. You probably know this vaguely, but the indie comics and magazine scene in Japan is huge. I find it especially really cool to see CD ROMs that artists made because it's just taking the extra mile.

[@callenmeyers]

I had that digital camera as a kid in like 2003, got it at Walmart I think. It was absolute garbage hahaha

[@BoomboxStudiosAndDexter]

I got that same Phillips webtv because of your video, but I couldn’t find my raspberry pi so I built it into a windows xp pc

Hey Michael, i have a quick question. How did you make the Floppy disk wall i have seen in a few of your videos? I find that really cool and a good way to keep broken/un-useable floppys out of the landfil. Maybe you could even make a video of how to do it? Im sure im not the first person to ask about it, thanks and hope you have a awesome day!

[@samclark6573]

@@MichaelMJD Thats dope man! I might end up doing that in my "game room". Feel like it would fit the vibe with all the PC's and Xbox's in there and stuff. Also, your videos got me back into older software again. I have been messing around with VirtualBox and running Windows 2000 and XP, Old version of OSX and the like. Thinking about finding a cheap Dell dimension V400 or mid 2000's optiplex to mess around with. I had one but sadly got rid of it.... Im also gonna try and fix my 2012 imac that i have but its prob gonna need a hard reset because i tried to downgrade OSX and it got stuck in a boot loop.

14:02 My contact at FreeGeek is Andrew, they're a GREAT crew there, nice acquisition, and you did an excellent job with your demo of this! I'm curious, are you willing to flux image these disks and share them on archive? There's a set there now, but they are .img files only, not flux, and do not have an interleave set, I'm also curious to see if the flux image has any minute differences in layout. Thanks for considering this!
