I want an hour (at least) long technical breakdown of the machine, and overview of all it's features, a history lesson on the company, and of course, a top to bottom deconstruction of the machine. Get to script writing, i expect it on my desk by monday.
You pay for it I make it on my channel.
y-yes sir 😨
Aight algorythm is wildin rn holy shit... thank you all for being here! im overwhelmed but hsppy!

Cool video.
LOGO on a VTECH children's laptop?
LOGO, developed around 1976, was a widely used programming language in the 80s. Quite interesting to use.
Yoo no way! I didnt know that, thank you for sharing that
That programming language is called LOGO and it’s used to teach kids how to program
I do actually remember programming in the logo language years and years ago and later learned if you use logo righter essentially was an upgraded logo program from the original
Keep in mind this was able to be run on a IBM XT although it required to color monitor of course.
The weird thing is trying to get to run we had to load another program that would use the color monitor to essentially trick the computer into using the color monitor for some reason did not play nice with the system with switching over to color monitor in running logo writer!
I got pretty good at the programming.
When the big bosses with logo Ryder was the ability to have four logo Turtles running simultaneously.
A lot of additional functions even being able to do on screen text and much more.
I do remember even having in the program the ability to use the IBM joystick as an input device.
I know one person that actually managed to program a game using just the Stock Program which is actually I'm pretty cool one eventually wound up saving it to a separate disc for preservation once he got it going.
And also I remember the shapes page quite well where you can actually essentially have stamps or use them as Sprites.
There was a lot of movement and even the ability to use the pin PX essentially to erase and rewrite a line or otherwise which was pretty cool.
Also there was the ability to do some animation in a few ways
I never once even doing a scene where there's a waving flag.
Essentially was just using a few of the shapes Naked Express with just slight differences a switching between them as a waving flag.
There were actually some quiet capable kids computers back in the day if I remember correctly as well.
There were a few that could use a printer as well not just this particular one in in this video may have been it looks like one of those brother or whatever things but more like a kid's computer.
Had full on normal ports for Io.
I think he was running a variant of Linux on it basically turning into quite powerful terminal was running some other projects via the ports mostly parallel port but also using the serial ports
Omg this is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing that, IBM XT? Isnt that like 80s tech? But its interesting that LOGO was actually a real thing and tought to children back then through those laptops.
cherry picking up the most random old shit
ifucking love it.
ADHD + tech is always a blessing to watch
haha thank you, well in that case its a thing i had as a kid and i LOVED but never saw online until i remembered it and went digging
ADHD is a blessing and a curse in one disorder
Great video! Very glad it got recommended to me, keep up the great work and I hope your channel grows more
jesus christ i think i had one of those when I was like 3-4.
i don't remember having it long, basically just one memory of using it in the back of a car.
@2:00 not might be serial although usually that would be a male DB9 instead of a female, many early monitors of the 80s were DB9 female, running either MDA\CGA\EGA, still a very need little machine, i had another vtech that i used the case for a cyberdeck and the original motherboard had a Z80 microprocessor and rand a version of BASIC
I've seen a few VTech toy computers with Parallel ports and serial ports on them. I have a VTech Equalizer which has such ports on it, as well as they proprietary mouse port.
Mein Vtech Genius Leader 4004 Quadro L von 1996 war bei weitem nicht so fortgeschritten wie das Monster an Feature-Kinder-Laptop. Keine Maus, nur vier Zeilen und grauenhaft laute Tastatur. Immerhin auch mit Druckeranschluss und integriertem Basic. :D
haha nice! ja ich hab mal so ein Video über VTech Laser PCs gesehen die Kindern von damals Basic beibringt (von The 8-Bit Guy). war das so einer vielleicht? o:
@@cherrycorestuff Nein, das war schon eher ein Teil, was man aufklappen konnte. Also so ähnlich wie das Modell, was du da vor dir liegen hattest. :D
Logo is more like a scripting language for plotting. Most implementations rationalise that you're giving commands to a robot or "turtle" with a pen that can be lifted or placed on the canvas, and those commands are usually along the lines of "move forward", "rotate left" etc and so on. Syntax may vary.
Ohhh now that you say that and i look back at it it makes way more sense (rt is rotate and fd is forward) thank you so much! ^^
vanilla becomes BATMAN with 2000's computer?!?!?
"Sniff sniff" x100
I am pretty sure you can hack this computer to run custom software
will it run doom? :Kappa: im pretty sure it will
@@cherrycorestuff we could try, i have my doubts though
Would be a wild youtube video though
13:18 - There is a difference between the decimals of a foot and inches
.7088175 feet = 8.50581 inches
Both you and the laptop are correct
Deine Videos werden immer besser, weiter so :)
Danke Danke :)
this may be comparable to the GeoBooks NB laptop
interesting looking laptop:)
interesting as i think
When the video starts off with the creator showing off their blåhaj... you know its good
for the email thing i guess u have to plug in a modem or smth
mayhaps 🤔
IIRC, one of VTech's earlier models, the I.T. Laptop (which is apparently shockingly rare nowadays), had you write out the emails on the device, but then connect it via serial to a Windows PC to send and receive using VTech's own proprietary software.
I can only assume that was still the case with this model.
arch installeren
I subscribed to see if you can install Linux on it
with a printer port
Just install Linux there...
WTF is that Z doing on the top row of the keyboard? 😂
Standard layout in Europe, I use it like that too.
its the standard keyboard layout in germany, qwertz
@@SectorfiveYTNo. In France it's AZERTY.
@@cherrycorestuff I thought it was only central and eastern Europe that used that. Now I know!
this is really interseting but jeez, your camera work really make me dizzy
shork
omg blåhaj
shorck
Ikea shork best shork
are you a friend of blahaj?
