      If it's going to the recycler then isn't it now trash? Any legal issue with just taking it? There is no reason for Dell's policy to cover ALL computers over a certain age since at a certain point you're looking at antiques that do not compete with Dell's products. I wouldn't be surprised if that technically didn't fall under the policy since it's not a "PC" in the sense of being a Wintel IBM compatible computer. Dell doesn't offer a TRS-80 clone. Needless to say if the only response is "it's our policy" then the policy is crap.

      @@IanSane The thing about outdated things it's considered polluting and provoking all sorts of hazards. Sure we need to learn what comes from where but open one storage space document it and make a book about it. No need to hoard hazardous crap. There are companies who have recycling contracts and if you take home something that is signed for recycling you pay a fine and if the person isn't found who took it all employees get punished. Usually you pay more then what it really is worth.

      This has happened and still happens with a lot of corporations, which is yet another proof of their inability to be in touch with anything other than profit. Imagine that there's car companies out there that destroyed prototypes to famous cars, only to have to pay absurd amounts of money to restore them when the public changed face and they smelled profit on the rise. Just boggles the mind, because preserving things in museums is not a new concept, certainly not for a corporation like Dell.
      And in this case, it's a less grievous crime, we're talking complete eradication and hateful search to the point where owners feared for their lives, if people found out they owned cars, or items, that were on search and destroy warrants (because lawsuits).

    50:53 - Yeah, I hoped the spring was still inside the box. Also, you can super glue stuff from the non-visible side by holding the parts together, put a drop or glue and pour some baking soda on it. Repeat as needed to build up a bridge between the two sides. This way it will have much more surface to stick, not just along the cracked seam. Good luck fixing it!

      We never had them at a school my area, but the local fair grounds, and it was more of a general bi-annual grey market fair with everything from car tires, car parts, car audio, to even complete computer systems, and other random grey market electronics, and software with yep including the hacker guides. Me, and my dad use to go to them, and it was $5 to get in the fair even if you did not buy anything, and the ads where all over local TV/Radio about 2 weeks before the weekend event.

Actually, just looking at the footage it looks like several passwords are valid: LGR or lockdown (case sensitive)should get the game to start.

    Maaaan, seeing that Jedi Knight box brought me back. I have such a clear memory of visiting a Best Buy as a kid with my uncle who was the family computer guy. We were browsing the PC game section(yes that used to exist), I saw the box and, having been a huge fan of Dark Forces, made it known that I wanted that game like right now. It was fall so Christmas was on the horizon. I got the game that year. I played that game probably more than any game in the history of my gaming career (I'm 37). It was legitimately my first introduction to online gaming beyond playing online chess. The Microsoft Gaming Zone hosted it and the expansion, Mysteries of the Sith. Those were amazing the days of early online multiplayer gaming.

I used it as a word processor and to teach myself how to make some really simple BASIC programs that would be laughable now but were really cool to a 10 year old.

I don't know why but the big PC and the MAME PC has SoundBlaster LIVE! in them (I don't remember why I changed the big PC's sound or is it replace the on-board chip I don't remember). The small PC has the same Quantum Fireball 3GB HDD inside, still works after it was tortured by a failing PSU for many years. All those graphics card names make me feel old, like the S3 Trio, ATI Rage, Trident... By the way, the small PC has an ABIT BH6 motherboard and an Intel Celeron, Slot 1 CPU (I believe it's a 266, 300A or 333 idunno...). I was a fan of the Slot1 design of the CPU.
