- 233MHz Pentium MMX, 32MB RAM, 2MB C&T graphics, Yamaha OPL3-SA3 sound, 6x CD-ROM, 12.1" dual scan LCD. And a bunch of late 90s multimedia websites.
Here's an archive of the Active Channels CD-ROM folder:

I did warranty work on so many of those machines back in the late 90s. Fun fact. The Toshiba laptops from the 90s and 2000s with a 5 at the end of their model number are retail models. Ones that end in 0 were sold through places like CDW or other non-retail partners, often times in bulk orders. The warranty on retail models was less than the non-retail counter parts. The preloaded software differed as well.
Ooh, that's good to know!
@@LGRBlerbs in much of the 2000s I was the service manager at one of the largest (in volume) independent service providers in the US for Toshiba, IBM/Lenovo, Dell, Fujitsu and HP/Compaq laptops.
@@Choralone422 You must be very proud of yourself. I know you're a better gentleman than this sir.
@@LGRBlerbs Twenty something years old BAT that retain 95% charge!!... Original stikers..... Come on Clint... You borrowed the time machine from @Techmoan... admit it... :-D
I have a Toshiba Satellite 330CDS laptop with windows 98 it has 4.0 on the bottom what does it mean?
The world: Radeon RX6000 series
LGR: Here's a Toshiba Satellite from 1998
wouldnt have it any other way
In the next 20 years LGR will make a video about the RX6000 series. LOL!
Oh right that's today isn't it...
@@JohnSmith-xq1pz Looks promising!
@@CattoRayTube indeed. Literally just cought up on the news... wow
Maybe the battery has been replaced at some point - some of those batteries can surprisingly be found unused out in the wild. Very cool!
Possibly rebuilt
I have an original battery for a similar model - unbelievably, still gives a couple hour's charge.
I have the original battery from the Dell Latitude CP M233ST (higher end version of this Toshiba, SVGA TFT display, much thinner body), still works for 45 minutes! But the good thing about these Latitude C series is that you can stick in a monster battery for a C840 and get like 4 hours of battery life on this thing!
I bought an older Compaq Evo laptop with a completely dead battery (only $20!). Using it with the AC adaptor wasn't bad but to my surprise replacement batteries were still made for it. After buying one, the Windows XP experience is now mobile and I love it
I have similar Toshiba but older, and it's battery has enough charge for ilke 2 hours which is extremely impressive after all those years.
Fun video. People who never used these or won't around then can't fully appreciate the price/performance we get with today's laptops. These 90's models were heavy, weak screens with horrible refresh rate, slow HD's, etc. But all that said, it's still awesome to see one 20 plus years later and show what we had to use back then. Great vid as always.
Big D! I’m outta here..
so what was the civil war like?
@Raymond Thimmes Looked up your MacBook Pro and just shake my head that a more powerful 17.4" ASUS ROG Strix laptop that cost less than half as much in brand new retail price comparison... The Apple tax is just bonkers.
Edit: Before anyone goes "but the software makes it worth it." Not really, there's stuff for Windows and Linux that's just as good, if not better and there has been for years.
I’m 20 years old and I have nerver used these kinds of laptops, and I still love this.
Just the reliability. When I was on 98 using a lower specced machine I got bsod on the regular, it was part of life.
This was my first computer, and it was a hand-me-down from my dad. He left the first Civilization on it. I have fond memories of sitting in my room with this thing one afternoon, loading up that game for the first time, then looking out my window to see the sun coming up.
@@stonecodfish2365 haha, sounds like you've never played "one more turn" through an entire night
Ah, this brings back memories... First computer we ever had in the household was a Tecra 750DVD (from my father's workplace) that must've cost a small fortune! I'm always fascinated by how it went on the market with a DVD drive before the format itself was even officially introduced in Europe! As I started collecting old laptops that I had some kind of connection to during my life, I was also able to acquire two of those in pretty nice shape, with maxed out RAM, and even some goodies like the original Toshiba branded laptop bag, documentation, and little tidbits such as replacement domes for the pointing stick! Even better than that, on one of those machines, the original Win95 install was intact and hardly used, a pristine time capsule of a much simpler time as far as child-me was concerned. Pretty fascinated by these machines, even more so when taking into account that they often work perfectly more than 20 years after leaving the factory!
Holy nostalgia! That was my dad's laptop back then. I remember plugging a phone line into that weird pop out PCMCIA rj-11 jack and dialing into the internet on it. I also would try to play space quest 4 but fail miserably since it had timing issues on it (those sequel police men on Pentiums are brutal!)
Seeing it again in all of its chunky goodness is super cool. Love this channel!
Also, I think those website files were there so that your internet explorer can have a prebuilt cache of the website and it'll actually load the same day while on a 56k modem xD
My mother still uses one of these for taxes/logging receipts - because the software doesn't exist on modern OSs there is no way to port the info over. This was also my first laptop, we got a dozen of these broken from a school that was throwing them out, managed to get 3 of them to work. I never got internet working though
But were the speakers really that crappy?
@@DankRedditMemes They were certainly not! Quite good for laptop speakers actually. Sounds like Clints' have disintegrated over the years. I have a Satellite 320CDT that has the same issue.
@@Artyomthewalrus tell tour mom to back up her data regularly. And not just the data files, she should clone the hard drive and replace it with a new one asap
@@Artyomthewalrus could your mum not clone the drive and get an IDE to SD adapter? Would make doing things much more useable
That Warner Bros. website was painfully 90's. It reminded me of when I used to play flash games on the Cartoon Network website. I remember a Daffy Duck game where it was Duck Dodgers in space and you had to bounce the space ship around off the edges of the screen to collect and destroy things. I remember another Ed Edd n Eddy online multi-player game where it was supposed to be a water balloon or water gun fight. I don't think I ever got in a game with another player though. Good memories.
Edit: I found a video of the Duck Dodgers game! m.ruclips.net/video/ogXtDbokPaw/видео.html
Speaking of Warner Brothers, they never took down the original Space Jam website. (www.spacejam.com) It's still there in all its awful late-90s glory.
..back when geeks were in charge of online marketing and graphic design! It was so much better honestly.
Not painfully 90's, AWESOMLY 90's. I really do miss the way the internet was back then. Even the anticipation you'd get from waiting for a website to load over dial-up.
There was a courage the cowardly dog one too where you used a flashlight to go room to room looking for ghosts etc. Haven't thought of that in years!
You can actually still play those flash games using BlueMaxima's Flashpoint. very simple and convenient.
“Let’s see if Warner Brothers website opens”
Do I hear boss music?
Ah yes the Nokia phone of laptops
like if you dropped it on the floor it would go through to the basement
These old Toshibas were very well built. After 2000/2002, Toshiba's build quality started to go bananas.
UHHHHHH awwwwwww
@@mima85 I have a toshiba satellite from 2014 and the hinge snapped off lol
Honestly tho I have the Toshiba sattelite from 2008 somehow that thing still works after replacing the fan and power jack runs hotter than hell and has been dropped down the stairs.. it's out lived every laptop I've had
I thought the Hip Clip link would be related to those horrid music players Tech Moan has been showing.
I was thinking the same thing.
Oh god hit clips oddware
ditto!
I can be your hero, baby.
LGR is one of my top youtube channels, imo. The amount of time spent on each video is commendable, even BLERBS!
especially his comedic videos such as that recent Photoshop video.
This was my dad's last computer, he worked in sewage and used it for field work up until 2014... brings back alot of memories
@mike h TBF, all he used it for was excel and a few DOS/Console based logging applications from the State's EPA. He did have a WiFi card for it though
@mike h Dynex DX-WGNBC I think, it had a win9x WiFi connection manager. I recall there was an issue with the brass bumps on end that he had to grind down, but it worked for what he used it for
@@Wolkebuch99 There is a WiFi card from Orinoco that works great in these, and it doesn't need any filing down either. These used a 16 bit PCMCIA slot. Cards like you described were 32 bit, and were designated as Cardbus.
Anyway, I was able to make use of that 16 bit Orinoco WiFi card on a Satellite running 98SE Lite (that was 98SE with Internet Explorer completely stripped out), as well as a TI Extensa 486 laptop that was dual boot with both Dos 6.22 / Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and Damn Small Linux. I really need to get the Extensa, Satellite, and the cute little Toshiba Protege restored and fully operational again one of these days.
"Enormous 4.1 billion bytes!"
Lol. Couldn't just say 4.1 gigs, huh?
That would have confused SOOO many people.
"Margret, that compooter looky-box only got 4 of the giga memory ram bits and such. This'un over here has 'dem over 4 billion!".
Or 32 billion bits
That wouldn´t be "enormous" enough as 4.1 billion bytes sounds fancier than 4.1gb
Man those early 90's sites make me miss when we had web rings and just simple web pages. Now sites are all trying to cram video ads and massive 4k videos in the splash page of their sites and it just annihilates anything thats not a modern pc
I agree about the video ads and such, but I don't miss the general aesthetics of '90s computer software.
"Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should" - that ideal in web design is long gone.
Oh shut up lmao and take off your nostalgia glasses. 90s websites were cluttered to the brim with dumb decals and flashy, glittery shit they thought looked cool back then.
Someone clearly wasn't around in the age where printing out websites to read them was the ideal method of browsing the internet.

🎵 We're Animani-
Totally insane-y...
Game Reviews Lazy! 🎵
I have a dark confession to make: sometimes I want to seal myself in a concrete bunker with a win 98 machine, some 90's tech and games, and pretend it's 1999 until all this blows by.
Short of doing that, these blerbs keep me going.
It'd be like a time machine, but you can never go outside. NEVER.
@@crackwizard666 Every day that goes by i am sure you would miss out on less and less important/interesting/relevant things and spare yourself from loosing more faith in humanity. So its arguable if never getting out again would be such a bad thing.
@@KS-xo3oh yeah there are more moments you get asked to hang out with someone and the first thought is "I'd rather watch paint dry". I would have lost sanity without escapism.
Those dental programs must have lots of bites...
I haven't heard that Warner Brother's song in years. Decades even.
Softdent is still a thing. Dentists take forever to update their computers lol.
lol, tell me about it. Kinda wish Clint had tried to run Vipersoft, since I noticed there was a shortcut on the desktop for that. Funny to think that Henry Schein used to sell their own imaging software as well as PM..
my dentist still uses windows 3.1 programs running on windows xp
"Explorer caused an illegal operation." Ah yes, I remember that error well.
I recently had a older Motorola two way radio that needed to be programmed. The radio shop I went to had to dig this same beast out with a 100ft cord reel to program em.
It was even running MS-DOS as well.
I had this exact model. I bought it (refurbished) in 1999 for $999 and was my first personally owned laptop. I used the hell out of it for work which involved me traveling around a lot and evaluating military units. The gray chassis looked vaguely military so it fit right in (after you take off the garish stickers). It was a lot more rugged than it looked. I deployed to Kuwait/Iraq with it in 2002-2003 for that war and it survived just fine in the bottom of my rucksack for 10 months. I used to write e-mails to my wife and send photos from my .33 megapixel camera when I had access to the internet. Still clunky, but better than using the mail system in terms of speed. Technology left it in the dust soon enough, but I kept it around to operate my RX-320 short wave radio since it was the only computer I had that still had a serial port that was required for the radio. Once I had a serial to USB adaptor, it became a paperweight. I finally had to get rid of it before a military move (to save weight) along with a lot of other stuff. Instead of recycling, I took it to the re-use portion of that facility. I hope someone picked it up and gave it to their kid or something. I have a lot of fondness for that computer.
The websites was apart of a CD that was around in late '97/early 98 that I think was called the accelerator pack, or something like that. You could get it from various stores for free to upgrade machines to IE 3 (or later 4) and a lot of the tech mags that also came with CDs bundled it. Other than the IE install it was just cached versions of websites to try out ActiveX in the IE 3 version and Active Channels in the IE 4 version.
"Active" internet is an IE4 technology. Microsoft came up with some new standards so users could have content downloaded from providers automatically. The content would be updated when the user was online. User could then choose "work offline" in IE to go through downloaded content like was a real website. This was useful then because internet meant dialup for most people and dialup meant no reading today's Cathy when mom was on the phone with grandma. IE4 also had Active Desktop that could update the desktop with web content. It was a huge resource hog and not really secure, but you could do it.
If you wind up replacing the display with TFT i would love to see that since I have a similar predicament with these older screens as well lol
9:50 That fall_01 is a BANGER.
i was vibing tbh
Yeah
Why is no one talking about those midi renditions of those old Warner cartoon theme songs? I also want to hear the full Batman & Robin theme, any chances would you play them properly and upload them?
Yes a piece of my soul demands these archived web pages
@@THEmuteKi It's in the video description?
Active Channels.zip\WBROS\SCREENDM\MED\BATMAN.MID
@@mercuryvapoury so it is. I don't know how I missed that unless it was edited in layer. I was pretty sure I checked!
The ghosting on that screen is eye-bleeding.
I love it
Makes my Amoled screen seem not so bad.
It's easy to take for granted modern technology, but we often forget just how far it's really come!
Not even a haunted house has this much ghosting
It certainly puts a lot of those $300 laptops into perspective
I love this range of laptop, I really need to get around to fixing mine up properly at some point.
Incoming Warner Bros. copyright strike: "We own those crappy MIDI's you played through those chintzy laptop speakers."
We had a cart full of these exact laptops when I was in middle school
lol
Uwu windows 95\98 gang
In your dental courses.
2:00 Quake 2 for linux official big box! Kept there for a future review/project I hope?
Good eye! It. Would be cool to see a video on that.
The battery holds a charge? wow that is impressive.
My 2000 Tecra T8200 that I recently acquired still holds some charge, at least 30mins amazing really, the IBM A21m from the same era that I have only lasts a couple of minutes. I will say both are in pretty much mint condition which is amazing (no noticeable scratching, all labels intact, screens both still fine with no dead pixels), yet some similar machines were advertised with "damage appropriate for the age of the machines" which went for much more money.
I wonder if the previous owner put new cells in it.
More than likely it was always plugged in. The battery lasts longer if it's not allowed to discharge plus his a Lithium-ion which doesn't have the memory problems.
Simple technology lasts longer. One of the major reasons behind the slow uptake in tech in space. The only stuff that's "new" and goes up there is either 100% requirement, no other way around, or for personal use (cameras, laptops).
You'd be surprised at just how many of these old laptops still have semi-functional batteries.
This video has a severe lack of Duke Nukem 3D.
And I'm all outta Nukem.
If you've ever used a laptop with one of those passive-matrix displays in person you'd know why that wouldn't work.
After seeing how bad Hover is, I don't blame LGR from saving his eyes from experiencing Duke3D on this screen.
I remember these cd-rom-internet-things: we had one at the school i worked for so people could learn to use the internet without blocking the phone lines or topping up the bills for using it. It came with a full tutorial and was part of the secretary course. We had a laser disc systems too that was, kind of, interactive: you would get a question and than read a barcode of your answer to which the system would reply. High tech for the time but that was in 1998. I love these blerbs and videos of old stuff! Keep them comming Clint!!
Interestingly, the Animaniacs are coming back. Circle of Life, man.
Oh man, I had to look up active channels and active desktop because it rang a bell when I saw it. All that DHTML stuff that the big studios were doing was really state of the art at the time. Most websites were pretty static.
My dad had one of those for work. He still put Doom on it so I could use it on long trips.
Your Dad is a legend!
This went from 0 to Hypnospace Outlaw in no time at all
Congratulations! You figured out HO’s inspiration!
I wonder what happened to Toshiba laptops, I never see them anymore
I believe Toshiba spun off their PC division into "Dynabook". Likewise, I also think Toshiba spun off their flash storage division into "Kioxia".
@@kbhasi interesting, I guess they're just focusing on more industrial products and services then
@@kbhasi Here in the Netherlands they still exists today. Mostly in the cheaper range but they do have some high end business laptops as well
I had this 2009 era toshiba laptop. It was one of those atom 2 gb ram garbage fires.
Toshiba was selling laptops at least through 2014/2015, but I have no idea whether they were still branded as Toshibas from that point on. They still used the Satellite model name then, too.
18:00 "Ginormous 4.1 billion byte hard disk drive"
Ah back when 4.1GB was huge
So websites on a disc were a thing? I always thought that was just a Tim and Eric joke
A lot of people didn't have internet access back then, so making a CD with websites on it made sense back them, think of it like a free sample.
Computer magazines used to come with CDs full of archived websites sometimes. Even if you had the internet they were sometimes nice because dial up sucked for anything but text.
I have a collection of old websites that i saved back then...around 2006
I saved them to entertain myself reading the articles of my favorite websites when i couldn't use the internet.
The Internette!
7:36 I did not know that Windows 98 has fade effects.
(I know I know)
I’d love to have those midis! I still love listening to them lol
This is the first time I've ever seen storage space measured in billions of bytes. I guess they were trying to make a 4Gb hard drive sound impressive.
Hi LGR I have a 1998 Toshiba Satellite Pro 490XCDT and I love it! Win98 SE and 266MHz Pentium II and the battery is great and it has a Xircom combo 56k 100 lan card and a 13.3 inch TFT screen it is a great machine!!! Part of the palm rest is a bit loose of course. 96MB RAM and a 20 or 40 gig hard drive that is limited to 8GB due to BIOS limitations
Those old laptop screens used to give me such a headache when I had to use them for work. So bad.
It's always nice to find a bunch of stuff from previous owners in old computers. Especially old saved websites, software and documents. This lets you experience what computers and internet were like over 20 years ago. It's sort of like digging in a pile of old antiques, just virtually.
Also, as you found out, some Li-Ion cells can indeed last over 20 years.
I remember getting an old laptop pack (from very early 2000s) with 9 Panasonic 18650 in it. 3 of them were still perfectly usable with close to full capacity, despite being almost 20 years old.
I also remember servicing a Dell Pentium 3 which still had a working battery in it.
This is why most people who grew up with these things wear glasses. That beautiful screen.
Those websites are on every WIndows 98 CD I've seen. Brings back memories! I first found that folder back in 1999. @LGR Blerbs, the Sites are in the CABS zipped files.
Wasn't expecting to hear the ER Theme @15:00
Toshiba ftw! I searched YEARS for a Satellite Pro 400cdt, the perfect retro gaming machine. It comes with a 640x480px active matrix display and an original Soundblaster Pro OPL3 chip. So much fun playing adventure classics on this machine.
I have a 420CDT, and have a 430CDT arriving next week... It's hard trying to find matching pairs, but hopefully they'll work for what I have planned for them! The major difference is that the former runs at 100MHz, and the latter 120MHz, although the screen on the latter needs replacing! Both also have 2MB of VRAM rather than 1MB. Additionally, the 400-430CDS/CDT models all share the same form factor with a single speaker, whereas the 440CDS/CDT models onwards have the same dual speaker form factor... At least that's what I saw in the pictures anyway... They naturally have better CPUs and support more RAM too.
@@StormkeeperPU True, but the 640x480px display is very important to me for so that the old games run without upscaling or black borders. I don't mind the mono speaker, it's pretty solid. Had a 430cdt before, it's a great machine as well. And yes, they are the same form factor, you can even switch hardware parts like the keyboard or put a faster CD ROM into the 400cdt.
Isn’t it cool how the fans in laptops used to be placed vertically instead of horizontally like they are nowadays?
Still have a CDT in the cupboard. Must break it out and resurrect as a DOS gaming machine.
I had the same laptop around 2007. It was still running 95 though. It finally crapped out on me in 09. I ewasted it now I wish I had kept it with this video.
Whenever an old PC (or camera, or random memory card) lands on my desk, I run data recovery software on it just for the heck of it. Sometimes, later, I wish I hadn't.
just a caution tale on these check the ram if you buy one used if you get the model 2 that has 2 ram slots usually one slot goes bad and stops reading check ram.
I still have 3 Toshiba Tecras of this vintage - still damned fine machines all these years later.
I have the same exact one except mine has 64mb of ram. And the hard drive crapped its self so it now has a 60 gig drive instead of a 4.1 BILLLION byte drive.
by the way the only component upgradable in it is the ram. The CPU is built into the board (its not BGA its like it was assembled into the board. And my battery still works for an hour. I have the original HDD but it wont boot. Mine came with 98 from the factory.
Funny story I bought the thing for $5 at a local sale.
TFW you're French and you didn't even notice "the language thing". That computer seems to have had an interesting history... In Canada perhaps?
I have two 320CDS that I refurbished, they're hardware identical to the 325CDS which was simply sold bundled with more software. I have owned a number of vintage machines over the years and have gradually trimmed down the collection and settled on these as my favorite machines. Why?
I believe they're an outstanding "all-round" choice for vintage computing:
1. a nice compact footprint compared to desktops
2. All-In-One design with FDD, HDD, CDR, and all the conventional connection ports including USB, as well as 10/100 Ethernet possible with CardBus PC Card
3. can be run completely silently with an IDE to CompactFlash HDD adapter
4. can run early versions of DOS and Windows, with proper drivers available for Win 3.1, NT, 95, 98, and meets minimum system requirements for XP with 32MB extra RAM installed, can also run versions of OS/2 and Debian
5. real OPL3!
6. Still relatively easy to find and therefore tends to be somewhat cheaper than other vintage options, as well as parts being available
After 1998 laptops gradually became larger in size, and the humble 3.5" FDD started to disappear as part of the onboard design, as well as lacking good driver support for older OS. Whilst the models before 1998 tended to lack something, whether USB, floppy, CDR, as well as having slower hardware. Put simply, the 320CDx series covers a lot of ground, straddling the transitional period between early and modern OS, and is great value today compared to other vintage computer options.
I have a Toshiba satellite 330CDS laptop with windows 98 First edition and the battery won't hold a charge but it turns on with the charger and I have the Necessary Drivers on it like the Sound and Video driver and The Toshiba Power saver
reminds me of playing games on my old Monorail PC AiO.
I have a Satellite T2100CT with Windows 95 installed. I paid £2 for it as a car boot sale, I was very happy.
I worked in the configuration department at CDW from early 1997 until 1998 when I moved to tech support. I probably installed extra RAM into hundreds of these and other similar Toshiba laptops. Thanks for the walk down memory lane (pun intended).
4.1 billion bytes ! oh my god !
that only cost two hundred thousand cents !!
XD
Having the original install of Windows on an old computer is awesome since you don't have to hunt down drivers, and especially if there are already programs such as MS office installed.
before we got a dial up connection, i would spend so much time going through those active channel samples.
you should try to connect it to the internet. I have a Toshiba Satellite 330cds and it looks exactly like yours.
I got one with a buiilt in cd player, it has a screen under the main screen to display the track and if its play or paused, it will run off the laptop battery to play the msuic and uses the laptops speakers and cd drive only, you don't even need to boot to use the cd player part
I believe the Thinkpad i-series did that.
im plaing flac on pentium 2 233 notebook ibm thinkpad 600)

I grew up with a P90, 16MB of ram satellite. That thing was a beast.
“It’s a shame these speakers sound so garbage.”
I disagree. If anything, it adds to how awesomely late 90s this computer is.
15:29 Theme from ER
THAT'S what that was :D :D. Not being able to place it was driving me NUTS. Thank you for that :).
Aw man, watching this is nostalgia overload! Had either a very similar Satellite or one of the 500-series Tecras, probably from around 1996. My mom somehow brought it home from her job as a Cobol mainframe programmer, probably around 98/99 -- maybe they thought the hardware was too outdated idk. Was the first personal computer I ever had that wasn't a shared family computer! But the design and layout, the placement of the ports, etc were all very similar.
Cool thing about these old toshibas is, that if you happen to forget your bios password you simply make a small parallel port dongle to reset it :)
I made one just recently for a Satellite Pro 4360 that had a BIOS password, it's called a loop back connector.
Color LCD?!? That's quite the machine there.
With a Pentium MMX and 32MB of RAM, I’d personally put Windows 95B or C on there if you’re going to wipe it, as it’ll run more smoothly than 98 currently is. Anyway, excellent find, especially given that the battery holds a charge!
Yeah, my Portége 3010CT stayed on 95 OSR2 even with the RAM upgraded to 96MB.
Laptops have gotten flimsy need to back to late 90''s bodies, they would take a beating and the still worked
This was cutting edge technology when I was a highschool freshman. God, I feel old.
Dang I actually remember that comics website, I think I was like 5 or something
One of those mid files sound like the theme song for ER..
For those who are curious about what music was playing at about 15:30, it's the theme song for the TV show "ER".
Now that I said that, I'm off to play Hover from my own "legit" Windows 95 CD...
I thought i recognised it!
These offline samples couldn't have been normal to Windows 98 retail right? I've looked around for little things included at times before and never run into them. Did they have a "Microsoft plus!" kind of thing back then? Or did Toshiba have these specifically added?
Please archive the offline samples! Lol. I'd love to poke at them and browse it.
As mentioned in the video, they're already archived. Check the video description!
I have a Satellite 4000CDS I rescued from recycling at work, it's a Pentium II 233MHz but otherwise seems to have an identical chassis, and the OPL3 as well. I suppose the 325CDS was the lower power version? Haven't managed to find info on the Toshiba product lineup of the time.
1:20 - There's gonna coma a time when lightning is gonna start suing people over their claims... 'You're gonna need to have to prove that, pink mutants!! Stop lying to each other!!'
What type of maniac keeps those stickers on their computer? EDIT: I definitely don't mean to take them off now. EDIT: A dentist. That makes total sense now. 6:25
My grandmother is good about leaving stickers on her PC. Me, I take off most stickers that are visible. I am also the type of person who puts random stickers on the laptop.
It's amazing that the sticks are still on there.
Yesterday's bloatware is today's hidden treasure.
Man! I hated working on those Toshibas back when I was a service tech at Computerland. Remember them? Anyway, Toshiba used several different screws in those and keeping track of them was always a pain. Otherwise, they were pretty decent.
Lol. That hdd scared me😂 i thought the hdd sound was coming from my laptop😅
It was worth it just for the Animaniacs theme song
@11:02 Looks like someone bought a copy of Cinco Technology's Innernette™
The Innernette!
Not sure if it was the exact model, but my dad had one of these back in the day. I remember playing StarCraft on that chunky thing in a car ride.
Hey dude, you have kind of surprisingly angry look on your main page, did something happen? ;)
Hey, Clint. I don't know if you have ever heard of the computer chronicles, but it's an old show that you might appreciate. This laptop video reminded me of that show. I don't know how affordable they are, but it would be cool to see more early laptops and portables. I specifically am referring to the late 80's and early 90's models. There's an nec laptop that was actually really compact from the 80's.
Theese Intel-branded pc accessories seems like a youtube tri-force
Dankmus has the MP3 player
LGR has the digital camera
QUICK! WE GOTTA FIND THE THIRD ONE!
Those PCMCIA ethernet dongles were horribly weak. I remember I had to bend/hold it in a particular angle to get it working.
I know the Laptop is the showpiece here, but I can't take my eyes off that Boxed copy of Quake 2 for Linux. As a Quake Fan and Linux User, I am doubly astounded to see such a sight!
EDIT: I spoke WAY too soon! HOVER! I did not remember the name of the game but I'll tell ya that game is Seared into the furthest stretches of my memory!
That screen is nightmare fuel.
