I love how you and Nostalgia Nerd can make videos in the same exact place and still the videos are completely different and with a style of their own, it's kind of fun to see them both and try to work out what you were doing while he was shooting his footage and vice versa
Pretty sure Octy is shooting anything NN is visible in & he's doing her camerawork in return. Anything where you can see them both is probably a static camera.
You may want to get in touch through the Facebook page. Octy does not directly manage her social media due to anxiety induced by tonnes of prior abuse, but someone curates her FB page for her and will let her know about your offer.
@@evilubuntu9001 creepy how? The guy has a genuine offer of source material which may 9r may not be of interest to Octy. He should definitely reach out and let them decide. Nothing creepy about it.
Next time you guys are in the Netherlands you should visit the game console museum (spel computer museum) in Zwolle. Oh and never change, I sincerely love your WORK.. P.S the unicycle thing is called an skate bike.
Capital! Comedy gold, or silver or whatevs. Never knew about pressiest or strokiest computers but these are important and saucy bits of information. Thanks for giving these important topics the care, reverence and seriousness they deserve.
I love the sense of whimsy and playfulness in this video. Furthermore, that flappy computer is something I just NEED in my life right now. I'm now a little envious of you having gone to this lovely museum.
Saw 'nerd's video. Was looking forward to yours! I'm autistic as Fu*k and I find I understand your perspective much more. Much love from your home land you superstar. Xx
The way you opened and played the Siemens luggable made me think they made a computer out of an accordion!😆 And it didn’t help that the unicycle had a flat tire.
@BrackynMor I see, I just have a neighbor who blames me for everything wrong in his life, because he always asks for money, laundry detergent, dishsoap, floor cleaner, and whines about not having enough food. Nevermind the fact that he spends all of his own money on booze, Cigs, and Grass.
@BrackynMor Ha, I'm getting more advice on poor Octav1us' thread comments then housing authority. Well... ...Hopefully I will be moving in not too much longer. Until then I just stay in my apartment with a door alarm, leave when the video surveillance is on and try to not escalate the situation. The biggest culprits are always following me and saying remarks, I'm not liked by some but most of the people genuinely know I help with car troubles and shovel snow. The ones that pick on me always have excuses to not help. It sucks for me in the short term but everyone knows what creeps they are, so let them keep making a joke of themself. You know how it's a bad idea to bite the hand that feeds you, They'll ask me for help and I'll direct them to the neighbors. I think it will get old fast...
2:43 - my first experience with a computer. Rotary dialled the City Hall mainframe computer's number, waited for the carrier tone, and slid the handset into the acoustic modem (phwoor!) ;)
Ah that Philips P2000, first computer I ever used. They had them at my school circa 1986. That paved the way to buying a used Atari 600XL and a year later I had saved up enough to buy a shiny new Commodore C64.
I spotted a Phillips Discoverer telly in a local antiques store, a while ago. Was tempted to buy it for retro gaming, but decided I couldn't justify adding it to the 3 CRT screens I have already!
I do like the idea of a laptop that's bulletproof and can be used to bludgeon muggers, but you can still take it home and work on your spreadsheets with it. Not saying the 'luggables' are these laptops, but they surely come close.
Aahh, the Siemens Simatic 'Handy Programmer' We had one still in use as late as 1996, used for PLC programming. We used to have to move around site on a foklift....
You woulda rocked that unicycle if the tire had air in it! Awesome video dude! I also demand a recount on that luggable race. I think you made it in time lmao
Okay, those "luggables" (never heard that term before, but I love it) reminded me more of antique sewing machines than computers. I sincerely hope they weren't as heavy as sewing machines from the same time period. Also! That flappy little laptop keyboard kinda blew my mind a bit, and I'm honestly not a computer person at all.
We have some luggables at the museum where I work. Technically portable by one person, like bags of gravel or fertiliser... but you wouldn't enjoy doing it!
@@WhatHoSnorkers Haha, apparently the only real difference between a "team lift" and a "portable by one person" is the presence of a handle! (assuming your museum's luggables have handles as the ones in this video did)
Excellent video, Octav1us. Enjoyed seeing all these computers. I didnt know a lot of them existed so fascinating to see. Love the CRTs also. Contemporary gubbins haha enjoyed the r ace around also. Great fun and many thanks for interesting and fun video :)
I watched Nostalgia Nerd's video a few days ago and now I've watched this one. Yours was more fun because I like things like this. You looked like you were having fun. I had fun watching it. Informative is all good but it is better with fun as well. Something they need to learn for use in schools.
9:20. Bit of trivia. Back in the 90s (probably) we found an old IBM dumb terminal keyboard from the 60s that had been laying in a disused cabinet for a couple of decades. I picked it up and "woh! How is this piece of plastic so heavy!" We took it apart, and I am NOT EXAGGERATING, there was a 6 inch slab of LEAD laying on the bottom. That keyboard was "screwed" to the desk when you used it. It ain't moving.
hilarity aside, it was really cool to get an idea of how some of those beautiful relics looked and felt. it's not easy to show off how something feels on camera. great video 11/10
Bloody wonderful as always. I do love a clicky keyboard having been raised on the BBC Micro and even now my keyboard purchasing criteria is clickyness first and price / practicality second.... I'm the weird one stood in Currys PC World pretend typing on the keyboard displays for several minutes.
Isn't that literally the only reason to go to PC world? I have definitely done the same. Also correlation is not causality but my first computer was a BBC as well.
I didn't see any Sharp brand heavy units to hulk around. It was really innovative having them heavy briefcase computers as you got a work out too. And any self respecting office guy is usually far too lazy to use the gym. Now that's what you called forward thinking. Them micro cassettes reminded me off them answering machine cassettes you got in the 80s. God I miss the 80s :)
Love your sense of humor. This one reminds me of "Alan Partridge's World Cup '94", especially with your special's title being too long to say in one breath.
"most difficult to watch porn on" i'd accept that challenge. Right this is great episode! looks like adventures of lady Oktavius and her associate Nostalgia Nerd around the Europe are pretty good entertaiment value and yet again i am quite enthralled by the graphics. Shine on you crazy diamond (thats nicked from song please don't feel like i am calling you crazy) - this is the kind of nerdy stuff i absolutely adore.
OMG a Fairchild Channel F (in its SABA Videoplay form)! One of my favourite consoles, and arguable one of the most important ones as it was the kick in the rear that Atari needed to work on and launch their 2600. Also that "unicycle" prob. wasn't helped by the rear wheel having about 3 micro-pascals of pressure
The only way to successfully ride the unicycle-thing is the balance yourself with an Osborne 1 and a Kaypro luggable in each hand. You may not get very far, but momentum will ensure that there's lots of collateral damage when you get there.
If I only knew that you was visiting this place I would be there. I'm Dutch and a bit of humour wouldn't hurt :) About the Philips P 2000 series (those with the small cassettes) it was a smart system they go forward and rewind fast when they where searching for a program instead of the regular datarecorder tape systems.
I think GigerPunk has one of those SPACE HELMET TVs. It's lovely. Lovely video, GLORIOUS silliness and joy and clickiness and IBM KEYBOARD WON. This pleases me. Are you now HENCHTAV1US?
The luggables reminded me of lying on my bed with an early Tobshia laptop ( I think it was basically the T3100 from 1986) on my lap and playing a Pac Man clone. I'm not sure how I did that without being flattened.
I miss Amsterdam. 😭 - it's quite literally been an integral part of my mental healthcare regime in the before-fore. Also the sugary everything they have. Red Light Churros after a day of getting stoned at ALL the museums is literally a reason to keep on living. Sod the damn antipsychotics, and the weight they make you put on, this was WAY more wholesome times.

They are not small they are just far away...

One of the most EPIC sales pitches for old computers
Nice work as always. It's great you got to another place where the inner child could be able to appreciate this. Wonderful video.
Saw 'nerd's video. Was looking forward to yours! I'm autistic as Fu*k and I find I understand your perspective much more. Much love from your home land you superstar. Xx
3:31 - my dad had one of those rotating cassette rack thingies. It went on top of one of his enormous speakers. Probably around 79/80ish
Me too! 😂
Haha, i had a couple as a kid :D
Did they have the tapes in the right way around? The tape separators were on the sides. 🤣
@@user-yv2cz8oj1k Those racks could store cassettes either with the case (vertically) or without (horizontally).
A tape holder on top of speakers? Your dad lived dangerously!! Lol
Been looking forward to your video after seeing Nostalgia Nerd's one! You really went to town on this one, great production and funny as always! :-)
Here taking a look exactly when it turned 30 000 followers! Awesome content as always there Octav!us.
This video is so funny! Thank you for the tour! Hello from the Dominican Republic (Saludos desde la República Dominicana)
This video was just downright delightful. Thank you!
The way you opened and played the Siemens luggable made me think they made a computer out of an accordion!😆
And it didn’t help that the unicycle had a flat tire.
It looks exactly like an accordion
Great video. Thanks and well done for going all the way out there to do that. Great effort.
Ok, that's GREAT!! This is one of your best videos in quite awhile! (That's saying a lot because all of your videos are awesome!)
I'm so happy that you are making videos again. It's one of the things I get joy from with my crappy apartment life. Neighbors are terrible sometimes!
@BrackynMor I see, I just have a neighbor who blames me for everything wrong in his life, because he always asks for money, laundry detergent, dishsoap, floor cleaner, and whines about not having enough food. Nevermind the fact that he spends all of his own money on booze, Cigs, and Grass.

I really want to visit this place now I'm aware of it and find those nice, clicky keyboards.
The Nerd Olympics is the funniest thing I've ever seen on this channel and I've seen some hilarious things on here. I love it.
Love your sense of humor. Glad I found your channel. I enjoy your content, keep it up.

much weird stuff in that museum :D the tiny tapes are very adorable 😊
I love it when you do long videos like this.
Octavius, you make me laugh and you are adorable, don't ever stop!!!!!
Ah that Philips P2000, first computer I ever used. They had them at my school circa 1986. That paved the way to buying a used Atari 600XL and a year later I had saved up enough to buy a shiny new Commodore C64.
Gotta agree on the Exidy, it's chuffing gorgeous.
I spotted a Phillips Discoverer telly in a local antiques store, a while ago. Was tempted to buy it for retro gaming, but decided I couldn't justify adding it to the 3 CRT screens I have already!
Fun episode! I like the collaborations between you and Peter. Watching you two try to ride that unicycle thing cracked me up. :)
I do like the idea of a laptop that's bulletproof and can be used to bludgeon muggers, but you can still take it home and work on your spreadsheets with it. Not saying the 'luggables' are these laptops, but they surely come close.
That Aesthedes 2 computer looks like something you'd find on the bridge of the USS Enterprise.
Aahh, the Siemens Simatic 'Handy Programmer'
We had one still in use as late as 1996, used for PLC programming. We used to have to move around site on a foklift....
Worth watching for the unicycle :D
You are the best kind of dork. I love how excited you are about systems that aren't just nostalgic, but proper computer history.
The term you are looking for is adorkable. ;-P
"Luggable" is the correct term for that monster luggable. You're certainly not gonna be carrying it!
You woulda rocked that unicycle if the tire had air in it!

Now those were some QUALITY transitions!
Ooo, a Simatic luggable from 1982.... For S5 logic systems. Chances are, those luggables are still in use. :)
I had that unicycle skateboard thing! in the US, it was sold as the LeRun by MTV
Man that museum is amazing. Although so many of those computers need some restoration work done.
Excellent video, Octav1us. Enjoyed seeing all these computers. I didnt know a lot of them existed so fascinating to see. Love the CRTs also. Contemporary gubbins haha enjoyed the r ace around also. Great fun and many thanks for interesting and fun video :)

Ahh the TRS-80 m3 hit all my nostalgia feels
I’ve heard about the IBM ThinkPad 701 from LGR’s video. That computer has the iconic “butterfly” keyboard, and it comes with Windows 3.1.
Best presentation ever! Something very Homestar-ish about it
hilarity aside, it was really cool to get an idea of how some of those beautiful relics looked and felt. it's not easy to show off how something feels on camera. great video 11/10
That IBM Aptiva at the end was my first computer.
Wow, how did it end up in that museum?
I can see the murder computer being used in Midsomer Murders. They're all about weird murders after all.
Wow there are some memories there. Very cool place👍😎👍😘
Great stuff, it almost got a supermarket sweet vibe at the end lol.
I think its appropriate that the PET won the strokiest computer award.
Oh those Siemens keyboards. They used the round keys on PC keyboard as well.
Bloody wonderful as always. I do love a clicky keyboard having been raised on the BBC Micro and even now my keyboard purchasing criteria is clickyness first and price / practicality second.... I'm the weird one stood in Currys PC World pretend typing on the keyboard displays for several minutes.

great video ... you could amost see the dutch computer museum guy thinking 'these two are nutters'...keep up the nutty vids very entertaining.

I am amazed by the Phillips PTT Telecom, it just looks like our french minitel. It's a very interesting video !
This was some seriously entertaining stuff to watch!
Looks like a realy cool place to visit. BTW you won the luggable round, you were carrying two machines.
Wonder if the unicycle thing would work better with a pumped up tire as that one looked flat. The steering wouldn't work anyway.
You are the most interesting and most charming tat reviewer on the planet! :D I love your videos and sense of humor soooo muuuuchh! :D

@BrackynMor Well, I was never a local, so... oh, and I was a uni student at the time... we must have had exemptions!
Look, tech specs are good and all, but "most flappiest computer" is the information i ACTUALLY want
"Most Pressiest Computer" isn't that the helm controls from NCC-1701-A?
I'll go sit in the naughty corner
Decided to do a 5 year Anniversary channel marathon so here is my HI to
