Love this format, canβt wait for the next! Besides the advertisements you should also stop a little longer on the articles/reviews and technical specifications. If the video is a little longer it is not heavy

Yeah it's amazing how many companies were getting into the PC game back then

My brother still has boxes of old PC magazines from the late 90s to early 2000s. I recently borrowed them all and spent a few weeks going through them. Technology really was just moving at breakneck speeds back then, it was super cool to kind of "relive" that period through the magazines.

I remember reading Computer Shopper (in the UK) right through the 1990s and it was CHUNKY. The ads were wild. Great to see adverts from the big hitters back then like Borland and the like. It was a very different world! Funny story. Back in the 80s at our old local library, all the reference PCs they used were made by McDonnell corporation. Yeah, the one that made aircraft. Crazy.

Ahh you're right, that's a funny coincidence haha.

Yes, and he was very impressed with it. I hope he does a follow-up, overclocking it.

Adrain's Digital Basement JUST did a video on that Breakthrough 286 board :D

An old BYTE magazine would also be interesting. Talk about hardware we've never heard of!
