daveinspain 387 Report post Posted April 3, 2012 What the hell do you do with all this clutter you collect? Old TVs, old computers, old CB radios.... That stuff takes up quite a bit of room. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest farnsbarns Report post Posted April 3, 2012 You might struggle, pre 96 won't have USBs and win 95 rev A and B had no support for USB. I don't know where you'd get the rev C patch from nowadays. I think even if it has USB you'd struggle to find a WiFi dongle with win 95 or 98 drivers or a PCI WiFi card for that matter. I doubt your isp provides a dial up number so that's not likely to work either. If you can find a PCI network card with drivers you could probably connect it to your router that way. Best hope this thing is late 90s with USB ports and you can find a WiFi dongle with win 98 drivers or you might get xp running on it but then it's not so much old school as it is just slow.

retrosurfer1959 519 Report post Posted April 4, 2012 Maybe he'll become famous when they release a new TV series on Discovery orHGTV - Teen Hoarders Or how much crap can you wedge in just your one bedroom. And we already have the always popular spin-offs Siblings of Teenage hoarders hell no it's not in the DNA their just CRAZY. And the ever popular Parents of Teen Hoarders Or we don't really care why anymore we just want them accepted into any out of state college so they'll leave and take all the junk with them. And then in about a decade they can have the final chapter Storage wars Vs/the storage unit of a Teenage Hoarder or really in 20+ years on this show we've never had a unit with no cash value! We didn't really think it could ever happen literally nothing of value in the Whole thing Why were they even paying the rent on this crap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TommyK 217 Report post Posted April 4, 2012 The youth has a clean, cheap hobby. Why disrespect him? He is fascinated by our society's cast off's that, while still functional, marketing gurus have told us that it is out of date and worthless. And, no, life is not better because of the magic of colored TV. Apple is now telling us that our "clumsy desk top AND our lap top computers" are obsolete (their words) .... pFEH! They told me desk top computers days were over when lap tops first came out. I still have my desk top and NO lap top. My television is a "clumsy" CRT. It was a cast-off by a 20 something who wanted something cooler. I got it for free. And, for the time being is not taking up land fill space. I cannot say the same for her first nor her second flat screen TV. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaleb 177 Report post Posted April 5, 2012 PC Hoarders. You and my stepfather might get along well! One tech related thing I should have besides a computer and phone/ipod related things is a Macintosh computer so I could do some REAL graphic design. Many a-album cover were created on a Macintosh. One example I can think of is Ace Frehley's Anomaly (which is a very oddball yet cool cover, hence the album title.). But then again he is the only musician that I have ever read or heard them talking about computers. Not many musicians talk about what technology was used to create their album covers.

Or how about posting this stuff over at the old TV forum he found. I'm sure he'd get some much needed safety advice from his fellow hoarders. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dem00n 736 Report post Posted April 8, 2012 I don't think hes hoarding, i just think he has an interest in old tech that nobody wants or needs. What would you rather have him do? Smoke weed and drink every weekend like every other kid does these days? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smoke weed and drink every weekend like every other kid does these days? Sure, because the only alternative to collecting old technology is smoking weed and drinking.

SlashPerryBurst 28 Report post Posted April 8, 2012 I would like to add that I went to school with a guy who lost his arm in a freak electrical accident. Fenderguy, I really hope you are accompanied by someone who knows what they are doing when you plug these things in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
