I like that Billy kept using the CBS Special Presentation music since the logo was used up until the 90's. And CBS return the Special Presentation logo but the music is half of the old music and then the CBS 4 note jingle plays.

It's a much better intro I should say. That last one was so jarring. The Windows 95 music does not jive with the synth music that comes after it.

Wow, that is one heck of a computer! I have never seen a video input section on the front of a computer before. I like how VCRs could be connected to it. It's kind of like a media center PC in a way if you ask me. Nice job! Happy Easter 2024 to you and your family! I hope all of you are having a wonderful time.

Great find! I remember you mentioning this computer from time to time over the years, must feel great to finally have it! Now all you need is the Destination's big brother, the FMC-901, basically a Windows XP era Destination system.

What's sad is I remember when 98 was just released. I had my first copy and was so excited to get it installed but the tw@t forgot to give me the key so I had to wait over night to finish installing it. Fun times.

@retropcscotland4645 back then there was no activation so you could've use ANY windows 98 key and it would've let you in. I did it myself when Inwood fix computers lol

It’s definitely an interesting beast. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen an RCA input set built into a vintage computer. Also, Happy Easter!

Nice! Still regret getting rid of mine many moons ago. Spent many hrs playing Quake & sound effects from the sound system were awesome. Boom! Boom! Boom!

Old monitors with tubes had a range of operation. That's ehy uour lcd doesn't work... Probably expects exact VESA resolutions and refresh rates. Most LCDs will take 60 hz but are only going to look good in native resultion ie the physical resution of the panel which is why the panel display other resolutions... The first gen LCDs didn't do this. The gateway lcd you posted is a workhorse. I had buikdings full of these and very few failures, two on each desk. If you don't like the color take it apart and spray paint it. We did this on some conference rooms to match the surrounding paneling.

Also, If you would like, I have a copy of the original Destination wallpaper (the one you can see in the promo video for the Destination on KZfaq). The one it gave you is alright but in my opinion it's lacking compared to the original. I can email it to you if you're interested.

Don't mean to distract from the video overall but damn that Packard Bell video you shown sure feels sketchy huh? Given it has no relation to the original company other than the name yet its trying to imply some sort of continuation of the original, I feel its something people with access to the internet now and the flow of information it would be called out.

@@rommix0 The computer company bought the Packard Bell name from another company who acquired the original incarnation and basically slapped it on their computers. They have no right to claim any heritage of the brand.

@@shodan2958But they do have the right to slap the name on it. It's their IP that they bought out with their own money. They can do what they want with it. AST is a similar story.

Gateway Destination runs CyberLink PowerDVD to watch movies and DestiVu to Watch Digital Television. In addition to the experiment back in 2003. The Gateway Destination runs Windows XP Media Center Edition with Service Pack 1.
