because it was the golden age of the all-american nerd
intellect, skill, creativity and problem solving were prized traits that made the digital revolution possible..
gone are these days, given way to an army of instagramming codegurlz, web-framework hipsters who don't understand the difference between javascript and the web framework du-jour, and poojeets working for 10 dollars an hour writing garbage code for middle-managers who couldn't possibly understand or give a shit anyway

i miss those days - my dad was a bigwig at Control Data, and I grew up in the late 60s/early 70s around all those comfy mainframes and COBOL.

things deteriorated with the pc
things became scruffy
bill gates, with his black heart & his physical stench had replaced civilisation
Julian Turner
at least it was still excitingly diverse
in that respect, commodity hardware was the biggest mistake of them all

Although it functioned as a customer data center (time rented out to customers) the main purpose of the DCS was to publicise computers in general and IBM's in particular.
The large machine on the left is a 1419 MICR check sorter/reader. Definitely a workhorse.
Jaxon Miller
Why is there no retrocomputing thread? I nearly bought an Osborne 1 yesterday but it didn't boot when I tested it.
>tfw no T3200SX

Second season was how Mutiny was the equivalent of Facebook and Amazon in 1984 with real time chatrooms and electronic commerce. Ending claim they invented internet but Berners-Lee stole the idea.

vintage threads are pretty much the only case when huge photos are absolutely encouraged on Sup Forums.

40 years old and still sending back data

Explain? You need a boot floppy.
What did come up on the screen?
Isaac Cox
For some reason, this shit feels comfy and unnerving at the same time. Like Boards of Canada albums.

Holy shit. Why in the world all the old stuff form 90s and early 00s nobody (except me) wants is os fucking ridiculously priced. Socket 423 mobo - 40 USD, good Asus 440bx - 50 USD, SCSI adapters - 30 USD. What the fuck is going on?

Henry Powell
Hipsters.
Also JewBay I guess?
Actually shits pretty cheap if you bother looking and waiting.
Dylan Bailey
more rare cykas for the collection
Tyler Brown
seem pretty run of the mill to me except $50 for a BX board fuck that
if you're going to go through the annoyance of listing something on ebay and then shipping it you might as well make it worth your while
Owen Martinez
Ugh, is so ugly it's awesome.

you can shit on centrally planned economies all you want but they were pretty good at autistic design

Tyler Nguyen
That's the opposite of autistic design
Jack Peterson
Technically not a computer, but aesthetic as fuck tech. It's a Nagra SN reel-to-reel audio recorder, developed for spies during the cold war. Small enough to fit in a coat pocket.
