Retro computing and gaming goodness on YouTube since 2019.
If this is the local PC AI that Microsoft are doing in public, how scary is the stuff they don't show? Your PC is going to read everything and do everything without your say, very soon! ๐ฌ

The XT that became a high end 486 without a motherboard swap now runs DooM at 20 fps!

I just spent far too much money on this thing. The Intel Inboard was a way to upgrade your PC or XT to have a 386 CPU. It gave you the opportunity to run 32-bit software despite having an 8-bit bus. I want to run extended memory apps, this is /apparently/ the only way!

This VHS tape sized subnotebook from 1997 was really innovative for its time; but was it any good? Let's look at the Toshiba Libretto 100CT!
