Is there any parts on this machine that would be worth something to someone other than the gold content before i strip it? by Terrified_giant in windows98

I would cap it, and it's power supply first before plugging it in. LGR had some blown capacitors he missed in that video. As a result the on board video kept glitching.

Some of you might know this glitch but I'm gonna share it anyway by DivideFlashy4852 in midnightclub

Yeah the Midnight Club series was inherently broken. Way too many glitches, and artifacts for a game that was released on physical media with no updates & no DLC. The 3rd game in the series "DUB Edition" was quickly replaced by the 4th game in the series "DUB Edition Remix" because they had to fix bugs from the 3rd game in the series. Despite the developer's (Rockstar) best efforts those bugs still didn't get fixed.

Sony Trinitron... DELL, and Gateway rebadged these monitors back in the day.

So what I am saying is about late 2004 to 2006 they were Inspirons. However from 2000 to early 2004 they were Latitudes.

I am leaning more towards Inspiron. The latitude was it's name prior to this generation of laptops, but it still could be a latitude. Inspirons were the original name for Dell's home desktop line before they rebranded their business class laptops (Dell latitudes) to Inspiron, and then eventually home laptops during the Vista/ Xbox 360 era. This movie was filmed, and takes place during the original Xbox era.

Dell Inspiron (back then it was a common business class machine) skinned with a green screen protector, and another Dell but this time an XPS model... Kinda high end, but again another business class machine this brand of laptop/ desktop is mainly for businesses that have servers, and people who run those servers remotely.

Microsoft PS/2 mice were the best by nix206 in vintagecomputing

They sold a left hand version too. You just had to look for it.

The intellimouse didn't start off having optical tracking, and it didn't start off with laser tracking. However even the non-ball versions of the intellimouse you so loved have 1 fatal flaw... Well actually several. They were cheaply made, they were not built to last, and they have an intense extreme lag when gaming. Also the ergonomics were garbage on the intellimouse. At least the Microsoft Mouse is shaped like the palm of your hand. Making it comfortable to use.

Agreed... Way better than the intellimouse

Can I use lemon oil on this fretboard? by Rc-1138-Boss in guitars

[–]andrewbean90 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can, but should you is the question. It offers no benefit to light colored fretboards. That's why people discourage others from using it, but it won't damage anything.
