1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

It’s all about that PC Master Race. I sold my 360 and Wii U long ago in favor of a new PC.

I do have my collection of almost every mass manufactured game console made from 1977 to about 2010. I used to collect retro consoles and games back in the day before the popularity for them had this huge resurgence. Now it’s just not worth it anymore.







Here’s my Apple Computer collection and some of my overflow console collection.

I have the original Japanese NES which is called the Famicom, along with the rare Sega CD for the Genesis, and my Sega Master System.



This is my favorite of the bunch. It’s the Apple II+, AKA the second computer Apple ever manufactured.



Everything works, including the computers. In exception of the Macintosh on the lower right hand side. That one was hallowed out and had a custom acrylic shell inside. The PO used it as an acquarium.

I got all those Apple Computers for free off Craigslist. I found the II+ under a Pine tree. Benefits of living in the Silicon Valley, and half an hour from 1 Infinite Loop.

 

Ohh clamshell, don't have one of those in my collection yet.

 

Agreed 3 was the best of them so far.

 

Works too! The interface isn’t that different from a modern MacBook Pro.

Battery hasn’t held a charge since the Clinton Administration, though.

 

I had one back before they were worth a damn, had the matching iMac for it as well, sold it long ago though. Kinda regret that.

 

I remember those old eMacs. Such a stark difference from the modern iMac.

I used those back in grade school.

 

I have one of those too. I have a thing for computers with built in CRTs... its a heavy hobby

 

Th only thing i know how to do on a computer is use word and google search...

 

Idk how im the youngest here and the least Technical inclined

 

Yup. This thing is absolutely massive.

Ford F-150 door for comparison.

 

wrong

I’m fresh out of High School, man.

 

This is about a third of the junk I have...

 

I thought you were older. Im 20

 

I get that a lot.

I’m 18. Haha.

 

I swear I thought you just graduated college. Now i feel old.
But still young compared to @eon_blue lol

 

This isn’t even my final form

I help decommission medical offices and I get to keep all the old equipment once I physically destroy all the data devices

 

I used to do stuff like that for schools. Kinda glad I don't anymore because I have too much junk I don't use lying around.

 

All this computer stuff is rocket science to me.
I can build you a house to code but i cant do shit on a computer

 

So i just been talking shit about 3rd jens in the norcal spoted and bs thread and I think they are starting to accept me as one of them lol

 

Before I got into cars, I used to be into computers. I can code somewhat in Java, Python, HTML, CSS, and I’m trying my hand at ancient language of COBOL for some reason. I’ve also done my fair share of PCB and circuit board repair/fabrication. I used to fix iPhones and MacBook Pro’s back in the day. I still do it on the side a little, but not as much. I would do macro soldering with BGA and SMD chips and resistors the size of grains of rice on MacBook circuit boards.

I’m actually going to school for a B.S. in Computer Engineering, and I plan on getting a minor in Systems Architecture or something like that. We definitely live in the right place for it.
