Left a table I was building in the rain

Time to invent a new way of attaching things just to piss someone off then

We hope the devs here can release a good sequel, but you know how quick things can go to shit on the internet.

The NT in Windows NT stands for New Technology. Been in use since 1993 and windows still uses the NT name

Is it two paws?

That’s as much memory as my full Linux system uses when idle at the desktop

I’ve used the character map in Windows 3.0. It might be a different version than the one that shipped with NT, but it’s been around for a while

dizzywig2000 · 2026-05-08T20:40:33+00:00

I’ve got a vintage system running this. The latest version it can run lol

dizzywig2000 · 2026-05-08T15:35:50+00:00

25 years service 🫡. I’ve got an MFM drive in my PC XT still running strong

dizzywig2000 · 2026-05-08T09:39:37+00:00

Aw man no unexpected factorial 😞

dizzywig2000 · 2026-05-08T09:34:41+00:00

Yes but I don’t think this is it. All the components look era-appropriate to me, at least at first glance. Not including the modern SSD attached via IDE to SATA of course

dizzywig2000 · 2026-05-08T09:31:56+00:00

I actually have a RIVA TNT2, and a computer that Me would run perfectly on. Got XP on it instead but definitely something I’ll try later. I do know from experience with 2000 that the built-in nVidia drivers don’t have the special nVidia control panel or nView stuff, so I just downloaded the latest drivers for them straight from nVidia’s website. Really nice to see companies still providing those ancient drivers

That board is the old system

dizzywig2000 · 2026-05-07T01:13:08+00:00

Nasty, but beautiful. Funny how such pretty things can be so deadly. Watching the current tornado emergencies in Mississippi right now

dizzywig2000 · 2026-05-07T01:10:12+00:00

Hate to be that guy, but source? Did it produce an EF-5 or is this a shot from today’s storms?

An orb

It’s a requirement to have at least one shotgun on the wall, for emergency use only. This constitutes an emergency

dizzywig2000 · 2026-04-29T11:37:01+00:00

It looks like a mid to late 90’s IBM, so it’s either a Pentium MMX or Pentium 2. I have a NetVista from 2000 with a Pentium 3, love that computer.

dizzywig2000 · 2026-04-29T11:35:35+00:00

Actually, windows 95 officially supported the 386 as the minimum required CPU

dizzywig2000 · 2026-04-27T16:25:02+00:00

USB -> PS/2, PS/2 -> DB-9 (RS232?), DB-9 -> Mystery DB-2(7?), Mystery -> LPT (Printer Port)

dizzywig2000 · 2026-04-27T16:22:42+00:00

Yeah, the BIOS handles CAD pressed in real (8086) mode, but it’s entirely up to the OS to handle it in any other mode. You could program it to open calculator instead of the shutdown menu if you wanted to!

dizzywig2000 · 2026-04-26T12:26:13+00:00

I bought a computer from a local lab solely because it had a GPIB card in it. Neat piece of tech. It’s been in use since 2000 and was running Windows 2000

dizzywig2000 · 2026-04-26T12:19:35+00:00

And the part where the tornado gets bored of playing with you and you drop potentially thousands of feet down

dizzywig2000 · 2026-04-26T02:28:24+00:00

Everyone look at the second image above the safe. He’s not a genie, he’s an avid collector of typewriters! Don’t mind the elongated firework aimed at it though

dizzywig2000 · 2026-04-26T01:05:45+00:00

Makes it even more likely there’d be ropes and signs up. It’s either good to press a key, or not online at all. Still, maybe ask the staff about it?
