3:32 When you said "Dell Latitude D610" it shook me. I owned one of those, when I was a teenager, and I had so many problems with it. I had the device name memorized because I had to download the drivers for all the stuff several times, and it has been burned into my brain as "my laptop."
I can see why it happens. People write addresses wrong, labels fall off, reading errors. My mail *from* Paris, France went to Paris, Missouri for some reason once until it got sent to the proper address
I sent a small envelop (no bobble wrap) with a game gear game in it to someone and it got returned to me months later with a chunk missing. game still worked. They did not ask for there money back.
The scanners they use in a lot of parcel sorting warehouses don't tell you if you screw up, I've chucked parcels in the wrong totes in old jobs because I'm just scanning without thinking and I know the parcel will just stay there because no one gives a damn until one day the boss has actually do some work and gets it sent out.
17:08 I had no idea pulse dialing was still possible with a converter. I assumed it was phased out a decade or so ago when rotary dialing out ceased working (though receiving calls has always remained in support since.)
Some voip adapters like the Grandstream HT801/802 natively support pulse dialing, though most like the Obi don't. For those you can get an external device like the Dialgizmo that sits between your phone and the voip adapter and does pulse to tone conversion. The Xlink BTTN also does pulse to tone conversion and also can act as a bluetooth device to use a rotary/landline phone as a bluetooth handset for your cell phone, though many phone collectors will just plug their voip adapter into the landline port to just use it for pule tone conversion and ignore the bluetooth
The polycom Google voice phone thing was probably the most important thing in the video for me. For like the past year I have been trying to get a landline phone to work without a landline, and this is the perfect answer. Thanks Michael
Oh my god. I wasn't expecting a tour of your closet, but that's a lot of stuff! I'm living in a camper right now, and I keep all my computer stuff on a shelf in my room.
9:16 if I sent you some 1 and 2GB DDR2 SODIMMs, will you make a part 2 of installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware? Speaking of D610, why not make a video flashing tqhoang's fixed LBA48 BIOS to it?
I actually bought that Office 2000 Pro Academic Edition not too long ago & the casing was in worse shape, a few evident cracks on the front. Was already damaged prior to shipping & the CD is still in good nick!
4:45 This was certainly designed for an older Optiplex system from around the mid 2000's! I'm an IT technician and here at my company we still have some of these machines running. We have a bunch of these PSUs here 100% functional, but not as many older Optiplexes to use them anymore.
I seem to remember we had rotary phones with the converter build in for a little while. Phone just had a switch on the side or bottom that you could set depending on your provider using either pulse or tone. I do know there are some modern push phones that to this day still have a converter build in.
6:34 Original Windows/Office CDs are nice to have even if only because of the holographic print. I found a copy of Office 2003 a couple of months ago in the trash. You'd say that's insignificant but was nice. Also has a product key on the package.
I have a dell poweredge 2950, and it wouldnt really be useful but that cd holder would be so cool to have. And seeing some of this hardware is great i used to use quite a few things mentioned here, and still have most of that hardware spread out throughout my house lol
I feel like it’d be cool to switch between the two (camera & capture) based on the context of what’s happening in the video honestly, they’re both fine to me
Mjd: Closet --- MajorSky17: Wardrobe/Cupboard/Cabinet ------ Osfirsttimer/Dankpods: Cupboard? What do Aussies say? Do Aussies say Wardrobe? What is the Aussie word for Wardrobe?
As an Aussie, usually I would say "wardrobe" but sometimes I might say "closet", however with the influence of other countries it is also sometimes common to hear "cupboard", though that might just be in movies / TV / videos. Personally I think "Wardrobe" should be used when it is in a bedroom and holds some clothes while "cupboard" is when it is not in a bedroom. I still can't get over a closet being a whole dang room, I think only wardrobes should be able to do that.
In my office at work I have a touch tone wall phone mounted just for fun for when people come by. It's not hooked up or anything, but now I kind of want to get one of those voip converters to use it as my office phone.
I highly recommend buying up some RAM storage bins. I picked some up cheap on Amazon that hold 50 DIMMs / SODIMMs each. So nice! Wish they had ones that stored CPUs.
Well, there's a nice starter kit as a Computer Closet... give it another 20 years, you too will have a whole garage full. :D I'm rather jealous of the old RAM collection, tho. Good stuff.
Would be cool if you had a background image of the desk on the direct capture, or maybe you could superimpose it on the video, because capturing VGA is actually pretty hard.
So of you were to actually pay for landline service, would a rotary phone still work with that without the adapter? Because I have never actually seen a rotary phone that was hooked up to a phone line ever in my life so I kinda assumed they don't even work anymore?
my family has some hard and rams in a gpu box!!! but i cant send it because in our town international shiping is unavailable (anyways i think they are broken but they also dont know what is it and why its there)
2:33 I had that exact card! Minus the extra vram you bastard! I think I need to send you some of the treasures I send to e-waste. Better rent a storage locker, or build a storage shed like LGR
I honestly like the camera pointed at the screen. It feels like I'm actually on the PC you're using.
It's like a tradition of the channel. It's cool to see the hardware too
I prefer to see it like that too
for this type of content, its much better, capture would feel wrong
yeah i prefar it!
Direct capture takes away the feeling of the struggle of sitting there for hours trying to troubleshoot.
With all that extra memory you'll have no excuse to ever forget anything ever again lol
Yes
it is temportary tho
Or for not using Chrome

It ran way better on Linux tho
The best feeling is when you watch an old mjd video, and a notificafion for a new mjd vodeo pops up 🤣

Heh
michael: i bet you didn't know the clock phone was still a thing
me, an european: i didnt even know that *_was_* a thing
Google "speaking clock", it is still a thing in some European countries
i’ve definitely called the swedish talking clock in like 2019… from Canada
I appreciate the pan and nb flags
It's amazing how often stuff gets "lost" in the mail all over the world. Like we've done it for a few hundred years I think we should get it by now.

What a stupid comment
15:37 in the UK you can just type 123 into your phone and get the exact same thing!
You can also dial 1234 as well
Almost Like LGR did. I really like your channel because you did my best.
That GeForce 5500 sounds like a good excuse to pick up an AGP PowerMac G5 dawg
Another great video again!
Thanks!
You're welcome, Mjd!

He already installed windows xp again
I kind of collect old PCMCIA cards, so it's always good to see them.
Imagine the viewer who sent this package just commented "You're Welcome"
I loved your desk tour!
for a person with 217k subs, I'm suprised this hasn't blown up

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
The more critical the service, the more irritating to deal with.
9/10 "lost" in transit means they just are behind on shipping it. Happened at UPS all the time, used to work in the warehouse.
awesome donations reaally cool stuf there.
also the bit of video after it was intereting too.
great video.
I Still Use a Rotary Phone , My Landline is $60.00 a Month and I have been on SSI since 05 :) QC

How kind of him to give you a box of his memories!
loved this video :0 its like a combo video
This is the earliest I've been to a Michael mjd video
I'd definitely wanna see a separate 20+ minute video of you just going through all the RAM you got :D
That is a common problem with CD Jewel cases where that little piece breaks off.
Michael MJD: My favorite tech TH-camr since 2018!
When are you gonna release that video about Steam on Windows XP?
I feel like it’d be cool to switch between the two (camera & capture) based on the context of what’s happening in the video honestly, they’re both fine to me
As Phil Swift once said: "now that's a lotta damage", after seeing this video, I say "now that's a lotta computer parts"

Oh, really....
Rotary phones are possible on VoIP. Depends on the device you use to connect the phone. FritzBox DSL Modems have no problems with rotary phones.
In my office at work I have a touch tone wall phone mounted just for fun for when people come by. It's not hooked up or anything, but now I kind of want to get one of those voip converters to use it as my office phone.
In India we usually get free landline service with broadband connection. So, old school phones are still a thing in India
Mind it Jio does not give landline service still if you are wondering
I highly recommend buying up some RAM storage bins. I picked some up cheap on Amazon that hold 50 DIMMs / SODIMMs each. So nice! Wish they had ones that stored CPUs.
He has a ton of fans, indeed!
The grandstream ht802 voip box do have rotary phone (pulse dialing) support natively
that other heatsink is also an LGA775 heatsink
a Packard Bell I have came with one of those
You can also use a tone dialler to play the tones into the mouthpiece of a rotary phone
Fritz!Box routers in Germany have this little analog phone converter box included AND they also support impulse dialing.
Awesome videos! Can’t believe i’m so early! (Less than 50 comments)
Can’t wait for more videos!

hahahaha with those cases I always expected the lip thingy to break of :P
... has been awesome.
Can't wait to see the future video about rotary phone.
7:26
Do you have background music or what is that noise im hearing? its very subtle but its there
Like, every of my favorite youtubers uploaded today lol
Try discovering and re playing the Linux doom source port from 1994, its the mother of most of them, i didnt see anyone showcase that on TH-cam
I remember memorizing the Office 2K code because I installed it so many times.
Also: more RAM than a field of sheep.
keep recording the screen like youre doing it now, i enjoy this
Every single Micheal MJD video is an experience
I actually have that same VOIP box. I got mine free from a really lucky find at a rummage sale. Funnily enough, it was sealed.
As always really enjoyed the content but I wanted to clarify that some ATAs do support pulse dialing very few but there are some that do
It was all very well packaged.
I still can't believe you only have 200k subscribers.
So of you were to actually pay for landline service, would a rotary phone still work with that without the adapter? Because I have never actually seen a rotary phone that was hooked up to a phone line ever in my life so I kinda assumed they don't even work anymore?
If I sent a D810 (the dedicated GPU version of the D610) with the regular (non PCI) dock, would you have any use for that?
Seems like he has an NVidia Geforce FX 5500. I do actually remember buying the FX 5600 graphics card when it was new in April of 2003.
My mom use to dale a number that would say the time, date, and temperature in Fahrenheit.
Doesn't seem like the video part of the videophone won't ever get used
Still patiently waiting for part 2 of the Compaq Portable trash PC.
I've seen that optiplex PSU before. It was dead but it was in a windows vista-7 Era tower. You can use normal PSUs is you please though
Oh hey I have a Focusrite Scarlett Solo too! I’ve been trying to sell mine lol
I'm pretty sure Linksys ATA's still support pulse dialing. So not being able to use rotary phones for VoIP is not entirely correct. ;)
Hey, that looks like a Dell Optiplex 320 Desktop power supply, looks like an older model since it has power connecters for a floppy drive.
Hey micheal.
im going to get into vintage pc's, laptops and older software. But can you reuse the windows keys.
Michael MJD is really good at activating cortana on my pc on his intros.
The last time I saw a rotary phone, was at my grandma's house in the 80's.
You should check out the modems that offer VoIP
How much ram is that? That looks like hundreds of gigabytes
looks like its old ram though so its probably under a 100 gigs
that Radeon X1600 Pro is something that i'm familiar with, one of the early Intel Macs had that thing
Imagine if the package just... dissapeared forever and something expensive was in it.. That would be SO sad
Very generous donation. I would love tho have ram that much.
10:19 Really hoped you'd say "So I'll have to do some RAM giveaway", plus face reveal :P
That Value Select ram is decent stuff honestly haha. My old FX System had some of that for a whopping total of 12GB.
my family has some hard and rams in a gpu box!!! but i cant send it because in our town international shiping is unavailable (anyways i think they are broken but they also dont know what is it and why its there)
2:33 I had that exact card! Minus the extra vram you bastard! I think I need to send you some of the treasures I send to e-waste. Better rent a storage locker, or build a storage shed like LGR
still not enough ram for more than 5 google chrome tabs
I have a phone with touch but pulse dialing, so not only rotary phones use pulse dialing.
Damn all that RAM . Now run a bit of Chrome 😂
MJD sounds like he's okay.
12:18 The Windows XP 20th Anniversary Box is very glossy.
