I fall down a hurdy gurdy shaped Youtube hole every year or so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3DF6cHN02s There's also of course a Rob Scallon video where he picks it up in no time.

Oh yeah, they played in Oslo in 2019 - I was invited along and didn't know about them before, but it was a great concert.

Networkable CD-ROM jukeboxes were/are a thing. They turn up on ebay all the time. The older ones are usually SCSI and have a controller not unlike this one hooked up to 3-7 CD-ROM drives. I'll often throw a bid in if they're cheap because they're a good source of SCSI CD drives you can sell to Mac/Amiga owners for a decent profit.

How did they develop an instrument so perfect for a song nearly 400 years before Classical Gas itself was written?

Yeah these were a big thing for school libraries in the 90s. We had Netware fileservers and the library had a tower with 8 CD-ROMs and reference material that was somehow shared across the network but separate to Netware - maybe direct drivers on the PCs (it was only available on about 6 PCs).

Retrorenovation is a site for people who are restoring mid-century houses. A lot of the items aren't technological enough for this thread, but check out the "woddities": full of appliances and built-ins that were briefly (sometimes never) popular. One of the bathrooms featured had separate icewater taps, originally plumbed to a water cooler in the basement. https://retrorenovation.com/category/all-about-the-era/woddities-wonderful-oddities/

A friend wanted to know if I wanted his old laptop. He couldn't think of anyone else who would want it and didn't wanted to send it to e-waste. So now I have this screaming machine. A Powerbook 150 from 1994, just look at that trackball. The question is, will it boot? Have the battery, but just used the wall adapter.  Of course it does, screen looks like crap though. But it had been in the back seat of my car for a week so maybe it was just the cold. Booted up fairly quickly though, even with having Quicktime installed.  Just look at that application list. Word, Excel, MacDraft, SimpleText, it's got everything.  16 whole megs of RAM (looks like they had it set to use the HD as a RAM disk though). An amazing 70 meg hard drive with System 7.5 on it. Whatever will I do with this beast of a machine?

I think that's the exact model I had as a kid. It was my dad's work machine and he got to keep it when he got a new one and he gave it to me for some reason. Wasn't much for me to do with it, since I was a child but I had fun messing with it.

it's kinda neat how it still works as normal too, cause you can just load it normally after the first 3 or 4 if you don't wanna sit down and load the loader

I'm trying to remember a learning thing that was used in elementary school. This would have happened in the 1980s, but the technology would have been a decade or two earlier. I want to believe the book in question was The Three Musketeers. It was an audio recording, but we had a few visuals. There were projected from a projector - my memory has the projector almost handheld size - but illustrated still images. Every few minutes, it would advance, presumably on a certain audio cue. I do not think the teacher had to hit a button to advance it. We still had record players and the old school film projectors. Some of the classrooms even had the Dick and Jane-type readers. And this beautiful thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXi06xoVlYM

diremonk posted:16 whole megs of RAM (looks like they had it set to use the HD as a RAM disk though). RAM disk on old System Software versions was the opposite, actually: it uses a small portion of the RAM as a second hard drive that gets wiped on restart. The idea is that if you’re going to be working on one or two small files all day, you can make a RAM disk of a few MB, then copy the application and files over to it and work from there. It will be faster, especially compared to slow portable hard drives of the time, and will allow the spinning disk to power down and extend battery life. You just have to remember to copy the modified files back before you restart or shut down, or they’re gone.

On Amigas, if you had enough RAM, you could save the entire OS on the ramdisk and get lightning fast reboots without having to stick your workbench disk into the drive every time your system crashes!

Usually it seemed like there was a tone that played that caused the frame to advance but sometimes it had to be done by hand and the kid who got that job was KING

My classmates were always one slide behind. We got one of the auto advance machines when I was in 6th grade maybe, but it was the last time I saw a filmstrip at all.

I worked in the library in both middle and high school and I will never forget how happy all the other kids looked when I showed up wheeling in the tv/vcr cart. I was this weird nerd but if you saw me you knew it was an easy day.
