I started vintage computer collecting around 2003. I wish I would have kept some of them because it was a lot easier back then since people didn't really want them at the time, and they weren't that old yet. Now everybody considers them "vintage" and jacks up the prices on them.
Yeah I hear that. I've seen some nutty prices. Glad I got my IBM Aptiva when I did. I'd love an old Packard Bell though, like the tower Billy has there.
Adam N Then tell me if a Macintosh Centris 660av was cheap back then. Not denying your statement, it’s just that I think our hobby is more socially acceptable nowadays due to millennials wanting their old games back, and don’t know what virtualization is. I mean, just ask my mom.
I like your channel. My first pc was a 33mhz packard bell cant remember the model..i had a few different packard bells growing up and they were very reliable.keep up the good work.
what is it that you use in windows 3.1 to give you those nice icons and grouping of programs? Do you do that manually and change the icons or is it a program?
That Carol of the Bells MIDI that was played in the Gateway computer had a horror movie vibe to it, at least it did to me. Almost like a slasher movie where the killer is right around the corner
I couldn't help but notice when you were opening up 3D Virtual Pinball on the 3.11 machine that there was a folder dedicated to Living Books games. I loved those as a kid, and ended up collecting the whole collection over the past few years. Would it be okay if I asked which Living Books games you own? This is coming from another person who lives in North Carolina.
Play-Doh? Did they have make games based on every Hasbro toy made? I'm aware there was a Mr. Potato Head game, along with games based on all their board games.The only ones I played in my youth were the Tonka ones. You should make a video where you make a car in Tonka Garage and load it into Tonka Raceway.
You got rid of the iMac G3 because it took space up yet you got many other CRT monitors…lol…Hmmm…Oh well. I’ve always wanted a iMac G3 but I can imagine the shipping is probably through the roof! I exclusively grew up with Windows 9x and XP at home, (didn’t get My own MacBook until I was 21 in 2011) But exclusively used Macs in school so It feels like I also grew up with Macs too, (especially the ones from the G3 and G4 era with OS9 and early OSX) so that’s why I love both Mac and PCs equally and don’t feel exclusively tied to one or the other.
This was actually given to me with my Packard Bell Platinum Pro XXII early this year. It originally came black but the original owner painted it beige and put it in a 5 1/4" bay adapter. I believe you can find the CF card adapter on eBay.
You have a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and I’ll see you in 2020.
Merry Xmas Billy thanks for the great video uploads this month.
Nice Pismo. Mine is having issues as of late. Some of the best designed and built laptop family from any manufacturer IMO.

Wishing you and family a Merry Christmas from San Francisco CA!!!
If you happen to have a PS3, Xbox 360, or Xbox One, there's an arcade perfect version of Daytona USA on the virtual storefronts.
Gee, I should show off all my vintage computing junk again some day.
Showing your 'junk' is a different website and rating.
Larry Laderoute I didn’t mean it like that. I meant my old computer collection
Hope you had a great Christmas Billy! Cheers to the next decade!
Merry Christmas Billy! Hope you had a wonderful year!
How do you get Windows 3.1 to have the clock and disk usage on the program manager title bar, and icons on the program manager folders?
Merry Christmas Billy, an love the video.
Where's the Toshiba Satellite 2505CDS?
I'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas! I hope you had a great day today since I also had fun.

I like that you used the mannheim steamroller version of that song.
Merry Christmas All The best
I do like your computers

47:48 Ohhh Lot of memories. Jazz
Last Nostalgia Mall Christmas video before the COVID pandemic.
I have a nice vintage dell latitude c840 notebook that's still in service
I'm jealous of that G3 MacBook Pro. For some reason I was always an Classic OS fan which didn't carry over to OSX.
I have an older model with Mac OS 8 on it
@@superstar64 nice, what model? I was looking into getting something like this off eBay. Want to know what's out there.
Formiam Gotten I have a Wallstreet, but it took a while to find oof
Good one Billy!

Is Daytona supposed to run that choppy on that system?
Merry Christmas billy
the beep from the KVM sounds a bit like when i start my PS4 or PS3 up.
Great video again Billy can I please ask where you purchase the front panel cf card bays from. Many thanks.

You should do a whole video on you just trying to beat Road 3 in SkyRoads lol.
You ought to make a video in the future about your MIDI files. Just a suggestion.
