Clint -- I have a private/locked/whatever acct on Twitter but I had to tell you: 1) HAPPY BIRTHDAY! spoil thyself! 2) if you haven't tried Kinder Bueno yet, it is a wonderful candy bar available in Canada, but it is also here in the states! Try it if you like nutella.

muah. Spectacular unboxing. Problem with those videos is that they make me itch in anticipation to all the subsequent videos on the donated stuff.

34. So young! I remember my thirties... Good times! Happy birth week young man! 🎉

Happy Birthday, Clint! And brother! That Davies Weather Station! I installed one JUST LIKE IT in 2018 on the school I worked at. Bought in late 2017 it was like 300USD for the hardware plus another 200USD for the software, and the soft is so old that is compatible with Win95 still, as you only need to read the HTML files that it generates. If you need any help setting it up, shoot me a DM. Fantastic load of stuff. Loved the posters specially, the one for Keen is really beautiful and the Clintuke 3D one is just amazing. Thanks for the video and, in case you don't upload next week, Merry Christmas!

I am unreasonably excited for that, haha. Tracking my local weather using Windows 3.1 is a dream come true.

LGR

Ahh whoops. That happens from time to time since I read the name on the box itself before I open it up and see any notes.

Where do you see that? Click the embedded video or the links in the post above, they're up to date and should work just fine 👍

"This video has been removed by the uploader" :( edit: working again (the URL wasn't truncated; I blame (rolls die) planetary alignment)

Speaking as a fellow weather nerd, I've got to say that I'm very much looking forward to your video on the Weatherlink thing! Great stuff.

Holy crap, I remember QEMM! I used it because my old 386 was running Doublespace to get more use out of its pitiful 125 MB hard drive. Doublespace took up about 50k of conventional memory and couldn't easily be moved into High Memory, so QEMM had a feature called "Stealth Doublespace" that let it be loaded into HMA but the system didn't know the difference. It worked fine until TIE Fighter pitched a fit and didn't like it, at which point I had to do the boot disk shuffle to not load CD-ROM or mouse drivers if I wanted to play the floppy version of TIE Fighter.

Happy birthday! Almost the same birthday as Mr. Keen!

JennaKay

Woot, 34-sies! So many amazing items there to make videos on, that Compaq, that Weather Station!

LevyNeptune

Just an FYI, around the 20 minute mark you say “From James” when the letter says the name Aaron on it

Robert Butler

This year was 37 for me, haha. So yaaaay. Happy Birthday, regardless!

Joon Choi

Awesome stuff - and happy birthday! As I grind my way into my mid 40s, 34 seems awfully nice. By the way I’ve never seen the FinKL version of THPS (so random even for Korea!) but anyway the group was one of the most popular Kpop girl groups of the late 90s / early 00s. I definitely had a crush on one or two of the members back in the day. Enjoy one of their biggest hits: https://youtu.be/wGbdFm9dAko

Just started, what a lot of boxes! Happy Birthday!

Hey, i actually have a pretty similar model of that Compaq—i think it’s the LTE5300? got it for free with a lot of Commodores a few years back. it too, had that ridiculously big docking station. i was lucky enough to get both floppy and CD-ROM expansion bays, but i had to literally tear up the docking station because the spring loaded mechanism for pushing out the expansion bays BROKE, resulting in it holding my poor CD-ROM drive hostage. regardless of the docking station being destroyed, the laptop itself is my go-to for DOS gaming or running 3.x/95/98

Ryan Shapiro

QEMM! That was required tool back in the dos gaming days

Andrew Kirkby

Christmas came early!!

Yoshizard64

Ah, I remember seeing that laptop magnet quite a few times back in the day at those novelty magnet shops that used to be in every mall. And happy early birthday!

Carrie Marshall

Happy birthday!! Mine is the 17th, I’m turning 31 so I am feeling your “ugh thirties” pain

LGR

Heck yeah. Had to grab a copy after playing it recently on the Packard Bell Corner Computer I covered. Lovely game, still has a stellar atmosphere to it.

LGR

Thanks, Rik. Stay safe as well, just one final month to make it through of this nonsensical year!

Jacob

I see a sealed Journeyman Project Turbo box in the background...man I knew I loved this channel

Outstanding unboxing, Sir! Looking forward to new vids featuring these crazy items. Hope you are well, and stay safe through the holiday season. All the best!
