Have a look at this old PC. What era do you think it's from simply by looking at it? DOS/Windows 3.1? Windows 95? Windows 98? Windows Me? XP? Vista? LEAVE YOUR GUESSES IN THE COMMENTS! The optical drive looks like it was swapped at some point, so don't use that as a dating tool. It's going on the bench this week and should be featured in one of the first videos of 2026, so be watching! It may.... or may not.... surprise you! We'll see who guessed correctly soon!

Took a trip to the Smokies this weekend and decided to bring along the subject of an upcoming video: The Sony Mavica Floppy Disk Camera! As usual, I messed up and brought only one disk. How many pictures do you think I was able to take at max resolution?

I'm getting a jump on ideas for a 10,000 subscriber special. I know that number will be here before I realize it. Here's one of the ideas: This milestone isn't just about me, it's because of all of you! I'd love to feature cool, unique pieces from your own collections on the special. If you have something related to the channel theme that you'd like to share, send me pictures and/or video and shoot me a note telling me all about it. I'll feature as many as I can! You can email your pics and info to chad@vintageelectronics.tv and I'll review those ASAP. Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Ah, yes... the nightmares fueled by cheap VHS Christmas compilations from Goodtimes Home Video in the 1980s and 1990s. How many remember these terrible tapes being played at your grandma's house? I know I'm not the only one!
