That Compaq portable with the CRT monitor was in the class of computers we used to call luggables.

It was freaking cool. Shame I had to give it back when I returned home.

I had a similar approach to hoarding tech. I started early 80s as a mainframe tech engineer/bench repairer. I had everything I could salvage back to Apple, Tandy, Amiga, PC, PC1, XT, etc...including racks of working data centre servers, Cisco switches from 5000 series all the way down to entry level models and Routers such as the 7000 series. My home workshop rooms were cabled with serial and ethernet. I also had some of the other business grade machines such as the Altos and AlphaMicro. OS's such as PICK, SCO xenix, SCO unix, CP/M, OS/2, the dozens of DOS variants, Netware, UnixWare, SunOS, HP-UX, OS/400. Then I got married, moved from technician to management, and sold/gave away most of my tech and still ended up taking 800Kg of "junk" to the recyclers.

I think a big motivation for tech hoarding behavior is when you grow up with an interest in technology and being unable to afford it or are extremely restricted.

Now that I can afford whatever I want, im constantly upgrading my rig with the latest and greatest. I've built computers for my kids and my wife.

As I read this I heard "not yet". made me laugh.
This is a fantastic niche tech history video! I really enjoyed it
Excluding the RS Model 4P and TV connected computers, I started with two 386SX PCs i got from the base aafes for $200 not working. I got one working, shipped the other to packard bell for warranty return. Sold one for $600. Over the years I kept all my upgrades starting around the first Athlon. Doesn't even fill a reach in closet. After watching this video might get an old one running capable of installing those awesome Jane's flight sims from the 90s.... still have them all! Will need a month to read the flight manual for Jane's F15.
"It's a toughbook, it doesn't need USB3 to be cool" that's all I needed to hear
Id say the same about my thinkpad x220t. Mine doesnt have usb3 but is still awesome ^^
PC: i9 9900k RTX 2080.. hmm no usb 3.0! Then it sucks!!
@@coffeemakerbottomcracked i doubt that the toughbook had a i9
All it needs to do is stop bullets.
Another installment of the "Linus goes through people's homes." Also yay Brian the Electrician!
Wait... Where is the part where he sells him a 5000 dollar PC for 20 bucks?.... ;)
Today on "Linus: Tech Archeologist", our intrepid explorer travels to Vancouver BC in search of the elusive Church LCD Monitor"
Well we all pc users are a little old tech hoarders, I have an old custom built pc with windows XP pro and an NEC 32inch crt monitor, I also have an HP laptop with windows Vista, I still use both of them once in a while and they are in perfect working order.
I thought I was bad, I still have my first computer i got back in 1989, a complete Radio Shack Tandy EX and it still boots up can't do any thing with it but it brings back memories of the good old days.
The way he says “Yeeeaaah” cracks me up every time 😂😂
Exactly
I think his high
take a shot every time he does it
Is like Gordon Ramsey of tech: "Is that a dead mouse?!"
''And that pigeon is the only fresh thing in here''
We’re just missing the SFX
NOOOO I WANTED TO COMMENT THAT geuss its too late
I have seen that hoarding episode there was indeed a dead mouse.
I would enjoy seeing this shop made functional including reasonable discards made and a good system of organization instituted. The unneeded clutter is a time suck that gets in the way of worthwhile projects and collecting for fun.
I did the mouse thing, but with scissors, bottle openers, tape measures, and screwdrivers: each floor has at least one that should be put back in its specific place (or at minimum the correct room) and it cost me maybe $50 max, but probably closer to $30
