So which Windows action was set to play the legendary "Practice Moooode" sample from Extreme Rockclimbing?

The guitar riff gave me massive nostalgia as it was a snippet from Hot Wheels Stunt Track Challenge 2.

The part in the IBM PS/2 Model 25 video where LGR says "Alright let's use this motherfucker" is too inappropriate, even if bleeped out.

It must've went through eBay's Global Shipping Program...

I noticed it was sent via TNT - they're one of the couriers my workplace deals with, and maaaan they do not give two shits

Another fine delivery from the UPS Express Canon.

Didn't you know? You have to practice reverse psychology with shi**ing compan(s)ies.

IBM machines in general --are-- used to be tanks.There is a reason why machines like ThinkPads have a reputation to be reliable.

The IBM NetVista series was GARBAGE regardless of what was under the hood. The hard drive bracket liked to poke holes in the ribbon cables unless you folded it just right, and they just generally had poor build quality all around. I had to support a school network with over 200 of these machines spread over 3 campuses. I lost track of how many I dumpstered after stripping them of usable parts. They were junk when new and, by the time I inherited them, were on their last legs.

@@HappyBeezerStudios They went downhill FAST when Lenovo bought them. The biggest problem was they kept using the same chassis and cooling systems, long after they became completely insufficient for the chips of the day. And while their competitors grew sleeker, they remained clunky with ergonomics rooted in the 90's. After they started rolling out new form factors, things got somewhat better, but Lenovos have a reputation in the IT industry for quirkiness and weird firmware bugs, and horrible customer support. I personally won't buy one; seen way too many problems with them.

I enjoy do enjoy a good firm turtle every second Tuesday morning on 9/11.

more of a burgundy i'd say.

Ahh mystery solved! So it was definitely a result of the drivers I installed.

was this like an actual sound that should sound like that, or was it a different sound that was being mangled by the integrated sound chip?

@@colinstu I don't remember much about my early PCs, but that sound was pretty familiar to me, so I don't think it was being mangled or anything.

Was the sound the equivalent of that booming EAX intro that played at Windows startup with an SB Live?

That sound is indeed from Sensaura's 3D Positional Audio splash screen. I extracted the sound and logo from A3D.DLL using 7-Zip, here you go s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=05987319581694458069

That was my fear as well. Thank crap it was only a fan!

I had that happen with a PCJr that was shipped to me except the floppy drive cage came unclipped from the bottom of the case and was bouncing around the entire unit when in shipping.

I kinda want a WAV of this now.

Back in that huge power outage in north america in 2003, I had unreal editor open while working on a map, and it crashed while trying to build my level lighting and then my screen went black. Felt like I crashed the entire world in those first 15 minutes

Thank you Daniel for all you do in our NHS with all your colleagues across the uk. Real heros.

As a Brit, there's nothing that makes me feel more patriotic and downright proud of my country than the NHS Thank you for all the hard work you and everyone else in our fantastic health service does!

Thanks for doing what you do :)

Sad that it's come to treating the NHS as charity rather than funding properly.

David Barton . The charity stuff is usually for extras outside day to day medical care. My Mother was a volunteer helper at Bristol Children's Hospital. A lot of the time she was looking after sick children's siblings while a parent visited. You wouldn't expect the NHS to fund that, but it was a great help to the parents.

Man, nobody deserved a Cyrix chip. You just wish your parents had bought a Pentium.

that PR equivalent speed rating sure brainwashed a lot of desperate folks back then [including me]

@@lemagreengreen The Cx486 was a great chip, and the FastMath ran better than Intel's 487 coprocessors.

i dont understand what happened. did the game just crash? or did windows have a major error? lol

Cyrix was decent, although it was WAY before 2000.

Best to do it before they get really expensive after people start making videos about them

I completely understand. I imagine many people are trying to escape to their childhood of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s when everything felt more positive and wondrous.

I'm a part of the tech club, we still have these in our storage room. Even some old apple PC's. Our IT guy who's worked at the school for a long time has kept 1 of each machine we've used at our school.

Same for me. These were in my school district for so long! These and the black box successor.

I think we had these brand new in our lab when I was in high school. They updated them to XP shortly before I graduated, and 6 years later they were still using them when my younger brother started high school, except in classrooms instead of the labs.

My school had G3 blueberries :/

Too right!

Yeah, boot order was configured to use the Ethernet adapter first, then the HDD.

Darnit. Really wanted to contribute, "I know things!" but 455 comments to late... Does this indicate he did a network install for theese computers? Or is it just the default bios setting?

@@tossabaddle Depends on the system. Ordinarily, PXE is at the very end of the boot order. It's often a good indicator of a hard drive failure. You can use it to do a network install. I have personally never done it myself.

@@tossabaddle these machines were for business use, as they use the network to deploy windows images it makes sense that the default boot order has pxe first

Ah, the good ol' days of PXE boot for easy domain deployment.

You didn't have to stoop so low.

eBay + patience = your gaming rig from the 90s. Trust me, I know ;)

Funny you say that; my first thought seeing this computer was "that thing would run the hell out of 'Fallout 2' and 'Baldur's Gate'." Lol.

Yeah i worked in IBM call centre in 2001 these were atrocious to support.

On this old computer, bootup time to the custom LGR themed Windows start sound is quite longer than 8 seconds.

I love it when he says, "Welcome to an LGR thing."

It was PASSPORT.MID, which was the CANYON.MID of the 32-bit era. I don't believe CANYON actually shipped with Windows 9x releases, only Windows 3.x ones.

@@bitwize But it did ship with 9x (except Windows ME, which has other MIDI files).

The best build in the game does not take too long to learn. By going through the steps listed in this guide, you will be able to take the next steps in your build. You will be able to create the following build which will take anywhere from a half hour to 45 minutes of practice. You can use any style of build that provides more variety in play. There are many other styles of build, but these will come into being when you get older. Your first style will be to play the game on your smartphone. This starts with your phone. In this step you need to pick the easiest mobile device you have to develop the game. You will probably start with a laptop or tablet. This will be similar to in the following sections, the most important thing you will want to do. This is going to be your phone, not your iPad. You may have to install Flash on your phone either of your most recent devices. You will need your iPod and your other iPod touch. This is how you build an iPhone. Step 1 - Setup the iPhone Before you start building the iPhone, you will need to set up your device or your phone. When building your iPhone, you will need: A Bluetooth enabled

Isn't the NHS already unsustainably bloated with public funds?

@@cheesetoast99 you don't order a whole lot if stuff from eBay, do you? Edit: and as a guy who does a lot of shipping, they werent making any money off shipping.

What is that sound called?

I think he likes swapping cards and making as many configurations as possible just to play with it. That's the impression I get from him. To him none of these systems are permanent and subject to change to what he desires that day.

I got a set of systems for different eras, but for each I have more compatible parts. And sometimes the urge to test them all overcomes me. That is the moment when I want to test 6 CPUs, stock and with 2-3 OC settings in about 40 games, programs and benchmarks. Yes, that takes about a week of pure testing. And I mean only the testing, not dialing in the oc or stuff like sleeping or eating.

Did you have to do much alteration, like drilling motherboard mounting holes or anything?

@@ZipplyZane not really, the motherboard actually fit perfect. i had to drill 2 new holes for the psu though and make the hole for the motherboard ports a little bit bigger
