With a game child also.

shoopnooop and with a lot of fucking inflatable fucking crowns

That will be episode 5

The Chinese National Museum of Computing will send him a box full of Popstations.

I'd love if someone pulled a lootcrate on him with pop stations. Fucking inflatable fucking crown!

He may very well be doing it, for all we know.

That center is in cambridge, I live in that said city.

But we never see his face...he should snap his fingers twice.

Vasiliy Kas why would it be a bad thing to be trapped in the museum of computing history? it's awesome took my kids to it and I didn't want to leave. you name the computer they have it .played street fighter on the original arcade machine for ages with my son .we had lots of fun even my 65 year old mum loved the place due to the retro games and gadgets.

k Dickens it's a joke.... because he has published 4 videos over the course of 7 months

I was thinking that looks a lot like those french Minitel things when I saw it. Nice to see it confirmed here.

SteelSkin667 Yep, viewdata

Right, when I was it I thought "hey, a British Minitel". I remember the Minitel. Made by France Télécom, was a sort of micro-terminal that was used to look up phone services (repertories, ads, business profiles and data, different types of services, and, most of all, a boat load of sex chat services and other sex lines that were massively overpriced du to how slow the analog connection was and how they charged overhead and made a few fortunes here and there, one of the most prominent being Xavier Niel, owner of the "Free" internet provider, which name is actually misleading because while at the beginning the service was "free" (i.e. no basic subscription + extra) it is now part of the "normal crowd" -which means around €30 a month for DSL and no data limit on your home internet). The thing was expensive, I sort of remember you had to rent it (maybe buy the terminal, I can't remember a friend's dad had one but I was 8 in 91, didn't think to ask about the price of course) plus pay by the minute of phone connection and it was using colors (for the most advanced models, the original ones were B&W) and a few images displayed using the lines, it was slow, cumbersome, but in some regards still more than just a novelty; it pioneered a little of what internet services would be: being able to look up stuff, mail-order stuff and do sex chat. Which is more or less the internet in a nutshell, plus torrents. Of course the internet bombed it to oblivion, the service disappeared completely and FT didn't even bother to collect the now useless things, but with some craft you can turn it into a CRT-Composite monitor. I seem to remember it was once even used as an attempt to hold ballots online, so you could vote for the next president or representatives using it, but AFAIK it never caught on. You can laugh at France, but this thing could have been big, and BT definitely thought there was something in there, since they seemingly cloned it (AFAIK the Minitel was the first and only of its kind, the rest of Europe refused to catch on). I still think it was a partial inspiration for what the internet became, to the point analog modems in France in the 90s often included a minitel emulation software for your computer because there was no online equivalent to look up phone directories or some services that had not yet transitioned.

*When I saw it Not when I was it. Sorry for the typo.

Minitel terminals themselves were really cheap, at around 20F or later ~3€ a month for the rental, but the services were much more expensive though (usually 0,35€ a minute for 3615 services, and 0,86€ for 3617). I remember you had to disconnect as soon as you had the info you wanted on the screen, and it would stay on the screen. I've only used it a few times, but my dad used to use it all the time right up until it was discontinued in 2012, because it was the easiest way to look at his bank balance. Prestel was actually launched a few years before Minitel, and many countries in the world had a videotex service, often based on Minitel or Prestel, but I think France is where it was the most successful, mostly because France Telecom really pushed the format. They even gave Minitel terminals away for free to the early adopters in the early 1980s. (I'm responding in English so that everyone can understand the conversation)

PsychicRadroach the long remote thing is like an awful sexual device!

I just wanted him to pull it outta the box so the word "WII" wasn't dead center in the screen at all times, always present when he's talking about things, like a high pitched background noise you can't unhear.

That's kind of what Nintendo overall is for anyone who doesn't ravenously consume everything they spew out.

'And this is a cheap rip off of the WLL'

And to make a change, I would actually be mildly interested in owning some of the contents.

+AgentTasmania Me too

These are better than all those Loot Crate shit.

Adam Davies he should have burned the crap things with his blowtorch

That would be worth watching... Downside being the fire alarms would go off, killing all elctronics in the room!

Hey, fellow Oklahoman in the comments! Small world.

An excellent greeting!

DarkVeilGaming Nice. Hello!

Jason Rainey add the bleep bloops, I promise it'll help

sixtopian If they watch Archer, they are good people that I wouldn't mind meeting either.

Had one

He was naked behind the book

That's definitely what it is, well spotted!

I do like my Teletext!

custardo It is

The Thompson MO5 and MO7 were French computers, weren't they?

He probably filmed all these in one day.

SharpEnough23 i bet they have A1 top condition stuff they keep in vacuum sealed locked boxes or something

It's funny how he's concerned about not touching "The brain" when moments before he pretty much threw everything else out of the box :')

It would be funny if it turned out they gave him the boxes they were going to throw away & hes rummaging through all the chaff.

lucky bastard

readyrepairs prove it give us a dna test

Who is your daddy, and what does he do?

*sigh* just Jeremy kyle it lol.

tbb033 He reviews crap on the internet. Poor "daddy".

mslaerik66 be funny if it was one of the rip off Chinese ones, that are actually like 4-8gb

BlazertronGames 4-8gb if you're lucky

I bought one of those before! I got it and thought "sweet, a 64gb memory stick" and when I plugged it in I found it only had about 4gb. Interestingly I also bought a 32gb stick from the same company that looked almost identical apart from the sticker and it was actually 32gb like it said

I dropped a 4 gig barely used Micro-SD card and couldn't be bothered to look for it for more than 30 seconds considering how small that is, but then your comment made me realize it had more storage then all these combined, Including the modern two (well, one doesn't have internal storage and the Wii has 512mb), and in comparison the 4 gig is so tiny that dropping it meant losing it!

Sorry.. Same mouse body, but the Arch uses a mini-din connector. That connector is the BBC Micro Userport connector. That's the late model AMX.

Oh i agree +TheChloeRed i did not recognise the connector which looked like it had been home converted from an Archimedes into something else.

Yeap, amx took the logitech body, and converted them to userport use. The actual connector is the same they used on multiple mice, the side exit to the cable wasn't common on anything else I remember. Also if you had a BBC master, the connector was the same size as the cut out for the socket in the base. That lead to "fun" removing it!

I have to ask, did the BBC Micro support a three button mouse?

Technically, the BBC didn't support a mouse. All the support was in the ROM for the mouse, so you could support anything you coded for. AMX mice normally came with 3 buttons I had an early one like this on the left www.flickr.com/photos/nickhowes/3143193697 and one of the later ones like upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c3/AMX_Mouse_%28Type_2%29_%28top%29.jpg/220px-AMX_Mouse_%28Type_2%29_%28top%29.jpg The one in the video is the model after the 2nd I had.

LGR and Ashens collab. Now that'd be a site to behold

LGR and Ashens and Larry Bundy Jr!

He probably doesn't know as much as Ashens about obscure British/Euro computers, though. Maybe I'm wrong. That would certainly be An Excellent Collab.

alecjahn I see what you did there...

All we're missing is an Aussie. How about adding Dave Jones from EEVBlog in the mix!

Acorn computers were pretty much in every school here. Whether it be BBC Micro or the Archimedes. Been trying to emulate the Archimedes but having little to no luck.

there is nothing worse than a factually wrong joke...

OoooOOooOOoOOOoOOOOoo he comes from the future.

Simon Pickford not even technically, just are in every sense of the word

Chuckles Helicopter Wigwam Jones we still are, lol

CrAzYgIrL inside the box?

Not a Pinecone yeah you get put in a box and ashens man handles you till you did

PLUMMY MANDEM yes please! Where do I sign up?

If you were asking of you get to see inside the storage of this place, I doubt it. We were only there for about 2 hours so we didn't have time to ask

It's also well known for all the Muslims who live there it's becoming like Bradford.

RACISTS!!!!
