UNDER CONSTRUCTION I am a huge computer nut, especially when it comes to the vintage type. I have been collecting computers since around 2012 when the first computer that I started off with was an ASUS ISA-386C motherboard. I was genuinely excited to fire this thing up for the first time and while it didn't quite run at its full potential, being that, at least from memory, it had cache issues despite having a 386 DX-40 processor in there, it was still quite a capable computer for a while. I played Commander Keen 4, Wolfenstein 3D, and Doom on that machine and it was quite something to behold. I even installed a copy of Windows 3.11 on that computer without a hitch.
Here is a picture of my ASUS ISA-386C all setup and ready to go. This is from July 30th, 2012.
Not the best quality image, but it's what I had back then.
Here's the BIOS screen displaying the specs of it at the time.
Commander Keen 4 on the ASUS ISA-386C
Wolfenstein 3D on the ASUS ISA-386C
DOOM on the ASUS ISA-386C (This was actually stupidly slow to run because of its specs at the time.)
And here's the ASUS ISA-386C as of this publishing. The top left shows that this system had suffered a blown tandalum capacitor, at least to my recollection.
You can also see the empty cache slots on the right side that were once occupied with chips totalling 64kb.
Also note the IIT 387 Co-processor installed on the top right which was a later upgrade.
Although before this, I had an IBM Thinkpad 755CE, which I got around the late 2000s or so, and had used it during high school. Unfortunately, I don't have much as far as pictures of the exact computer that I had, but I do have two images showing it in action. It's not much, but it's there.
This picture was taken on July 27th, 2011. This is a picture of my PPG plushies stationed in front of the IBM Thinkpad 755CE with Epic Pinball running in the background.
This is basically just an idea of making it look like the girls were playing a video game on a mid-90s laptop. It's a shame that not the entire system can be seen though, but it is there and all in tact at the time.
Here is a snapshot of the IBM Thinkpad 755CE's output to a display. Here, you can see it running Windows 95, which was an upgrade to the original 3.1 setup that the system initially came with to my understanding.
If you note the added comments in the image, this is quite a humorous thing that I stumbled across back then when fiddling around with it. Still, it's kinda nice to see what the system was.
Evidently, as far as I can recall, that poor thing suffered memory issues even when I first got it. I made a failed attempt to reinstall Windows 95, the screen stopped working, and it eventually got to the point where the system is just unusable. In the end, I just tossed it and the only part that's left was the power supply that came with it. Still though, it did serve its purpose and that's what led me into starting collecting computers.
As time passed, my collection exceedingly grew and have gotten quite a number of oldies, but goldies over the years. Granted, some of which either died or had to be sold off due to either storage or money constraints. But hey, you know how it is. Still though, I was satisfied enough with what I had and do have now during my time collecting, yet I still have the urge to get more.
My office circa 2014. Off camera to the left, I had a Lenovo Y570 laptop acting as my daily driver. Underneath the brown desk was a Pentium 1 computer.
Straight ahead are both a 486 PC with Wolf 3D running (left) and a Tandy 1000 SX with Ancient Empires running (right). And finally, on the very right side is a Macintosh SE.
I also do draw from time to time. As of today, I usually find myself on my Windows XP machine drawing art using Adobe Photoshop 10. Tools of the trade are usually mouse and keyboard, naturally. But if I'm lucky, I do have an old WaCom PTZ-630 to utilize on that machine. However, there are other times where I'll be using a Windows 98 machine or even a Mac, specifically when black and white dithered art is on my mind. I even have a CF-19 Toughbook which is touchscreen capable and even has its own pen. It currently has Ubuntu as its OS, but I use a Windows XP VM to run Photoshop 10 to do my artwork if I choose to. Now sure, I may not be using the latest and greatest, or even alternatives like GIMP. But hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Another thing that I do is programming. I am currently studying for Computer Science in hopes to improve my programming skills as well as land a job as a software engineer, or even an IT guy, if I'm lucky. You'll usually find me writing software for the purposes of making certain tasks easier, to improve my skills, or to just have fun. I even make mods for other games, such as DOOM for example.
Speaking of gaming, yes I am indeed a gamer. Although, my main interest is towards retro gaming, specifically those from around the 2000s and earlier. Granted, there are a select few modern ones that I can indulge myself into if they pique my interest, especially if they pay homage to some of the classics of the past.
