I love the Apple IIGS. It’s a great computer, but could it have been greater? The legend goes that Apple purposefully underclocked its CPU during development to avoid competing with the Macintosh. But is this actually true? Join me for a deep dive into the IIGS architecture, the life of the 65816 CPU, and the ghosts of keynotes past.

I’ve hit 5,000 subscribers, and what better way to celebrate than to install an old operating system on a lumbering battlestation? In a past video I said I’d install IBM’s OS/2 on the PS/2 Model 80 386, and now we’re doing it. How well does it run? Will I learn to love the Workplace Shell? I’m also giving a big channel update about ongoing projects and some of my thoughts about the vintage / retro / whatever scene. How well does OS/2 run on this massive 386? You’ll have to watch to find out.

Garmin iQue 3600
We take for granted that we can pull out a phone and get directions to almost anywhere on Earth. But years before Apple and Google gave us the tools to navigate our lives a GPS maker gave us the first pocketable personal digital assistant with an embedded GPS. Featuring dynamic turn-by-turn directions, the Garmin iQue 3600 built an amazingly powerful navigational tool on top of Palm OS. How did it stack up against the competition when it launched in 2003? Can I still get accurate directions from a device released two decades ago? And can I install up-to-date maps to make it even more accurate? Watch to see me put it to the test on today's streets.

IBM was late to the 386 PC party, but when they finally arrived they made a statement about what they thought the future of computing would be. With a 32-bit Micro Channel bus and room for six drives IBM aimed this tower directly at the likes of Compaq. But what’s inside this monstrous machine and how can it be upgraded? And what can you do with an old boat anchor like this? Join me as I pull this PC apart to see what you got when you bought a $6,845 workstation in 1990.

What was the first retro or vintage computer you collected? I saved an obsolete PS/2 Model 30 286 from the scrap heap back in 1997. This machine was a footsoldier in IBM’s war to reclaim their ownership of the PC platform they invented. But why did they bring out a machine featuring ISA after hyping up Micro Channel? And where do these machines fit in for the modern collector? Watch to find out.

I’m back at the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest for another convention of old and obsolete technology. With tons of retro computers and video games it’s a celebration of old technology and the people that made them. VCF is bigger than ever in 2023, with more panels, more exhibitors, more vendors, and more attendees. But being bigger also means more challenges. Did VCFMW rise to the occasion and conquer the challenges, or did it crash like an old PC running Windows 95? You’ll have to watch to find out.

Any self-respecting beach town in the United States has an arcade. But there's a certain variety that lives along the northeast Atlantic coast. When kids of all ages tire of the sand and surf, they can hop on to the boardwalk for video games and the chance to win big prizes. Join me as we experience Fun-O-Rama in York Beach, Maine, a classic beach arcade I’ve been visiting for over thirty years.

The SE/30 is a Macintosh that’s larger than life. It's hailed as one of the greatest Macs ever. So when I had the chance to pick one up, complete in box, for free, I couldn’t pass it up. But was it functional or blown up by a battery bomb? Join me as I restore an SE/30 and go through its history and impact on Apple and computing at large.

Will Wright's SimCity is one of gaming's all-time hits. The classic original SimCity started on the Commodore 64 and topped out on PCs and Macs. With ports to over a dozen platforms, you can play it on pretty much anything. Even the Super Nintendo and the Commodore CDTV can run SimCity! But which one is my favorite? Well, you'll just have to watch to find out.

Steve Jobs thought he would user in the NeXT generation of computing, but his little black cube of darkness flopped. When you bought a $10,000 computer, what did you get in the box? There’s books, disks, tools, and stickers too. Take the NeXTstep with me as I explore a complete package of NeXT accessories included with the first NeXT computers.

I’ve created an FAQ to answer many questions, clear misconceptions, and give an idea of a path forward.

Here, in Userlandia, I think I’m a clone now…
Compaq was in a crisis in the early 90s. Upstarts were undercutting them just as they had undercut IBM. Facing their first loss, massive layoffs, and the departure of their founder, they needed something special to turn their company around. That something special was the ProLinea, their first PC targeted directly at value customers. Listen to find out how the ProLinea put Compaq on the right path.
