Damn, now I’ll have to get one.

Well, time to scale was unknown.

We used to be a society

My son who is a computer science major refurbishes vintage computers and gaming consoles. He is 23 @kristoferkoessel.bsky.social

A computer store here in Ottawa had a booth at the flea market. They would get pallets of surplus government PS/2 model 30s and part them out. I assembled 10 or so at a cost of $350 each with monitor (when a PS/2 cost close to $3000) to give to people that didn't have a computer. Tons of fun! 👍

Never saw the caddy before. The Model 25 was the first computer I ever bought for myself. Loved it. I have several now in various states of refurbishing.

The PS/2 has always been my favorite platform. It was so far ahead of its time!

I have one or two more models as well :) I'll post them as I have to do a little digging for them.

The IBM PS2 was our first computer! It had 2 mb of ram and an 80 mb hard drive!

yeah but the point is its vintage tech and its cool not efficient or new

Nice to chat w someone who appreciates quality in IT

Before that in 1982 my mother bought an IBM PC w green monochrome screen & no hard drive and no CGA card. Epson MX-80 Graftrax printer. CGA, ATI mem expansion card later. Still have PC Mad vol1, no1.

I bought a lot of those in my IT days, great keyboards. Pretty reliable then

@anneb.bsky.social looks like one you might enjoy!

Looks so antiquated now but spent hours working on one.

My high-school life revolved around these things. Or if you were really "lucky" you got to use one of the many Zenith 8088's.

The smaller bytes and bits too.

mother.. of.. god.. i need an stl
