47: 06 Regarding those Model M5s in case it helps, the two I have had dead trackballs on arrival but I was able to fix them by replacing the capacitors on the trackball's controller PCB. At least for Lexmark-made ones, whilst the keyboard's PCB uses THT components like earlier M controllers, the trackball's PCB uses SMD components, so this issue might be related to the one that also affects Model M1 and M2 keyboards entirely.

one of my earliest memories was how BIG the Dick Tracy movie was - it was being covered everywhere after the success of Batman (1989). and then it came out and no one talked about it ever again. But Hollywood thought they were on to something, so Rocketeer got made - that The Shadow and The Phantom were the nails in the coffin of old timey comic strip movies

the CD is likely doing that because the computer it was copied from didn’t finalize the disk. it should work on playback only devices like a cd player boombox, car, etc. this has happened to me before with small indie band cds they’ve sold. idk how to get around it but that’s probably what jt is!

Hehe, the licorice that came with the Ultrasound was made in the same building that used to be my vocational college back in the day. I got a nice Mikromikko 486 from their storage while they were moving out of that building. (alongside a massive pile of old components and server blades)

The Simcity 3000 Linux case and disc have no esrb ratings, so it's possible they used the same insides and/or artwork for multiple versions of the game. Simcity 3000 Unlimited has a ton of different names around the world, and Linux is pretty niche.

I wonder if bus terminators are useful for stuff like the tyan board, it looks like 370 and slot 1 both had termination dummies from a quick search. Probably harder to get a hold of these days and who knows if it helps or is even compatible.

Hey, wait a minute. I didn't see a Microsoft Bob shirt in the internal company store. Weirdly, I've been a heavy Windows and Microsoft software user since basically the beginning, but I don't ever remember Microsoft Bob, only Clippy.

I OWNED THAT LINUX SIMCITY! Sorry to shout. I thought for a while that all my Loki Games were just a college fever dream. That's fantastic! I ran them on Redhat Workstation and MandrakeLinux I bought at Fry's Electronics in big boxes.

I live in Japan and I found a pack of 5 740 MO discs and a USB drive at hard-off for less than $10 for everything. Those things are so neat, they make a weird sound and it all seems like alien technology from another dimension!

Always appreciate a fresh new LGR video on a Friday morning! As per usual, thank you very much for having good and accurate closed captioning, even on unscripted content, it is always something I am thankful for.

Talk about timing. This whole week I was watching unboxing mail in videos as far back as 6 years ago, and I now see another video uploaded. Thank you LGR for the hours of entertainment of amazing goodies

That Quiz Wiz was my childhood. Loved it back when that version would've been new in the early 90's, love it now. Wish I still had mine, but I'm decently certain my parents threw it away 25-ish years ago.

The Max Payne mousepad really brought me back! That was my favorite game as a teenager and I used that pad for years and years. I've gotta check if it's still laying around my parents' house.

Oh wow, that old Linux port of SimCity is really cool! It'd be neat to see a video about some of these old Linux game ports running on contemporary hardware if you haven't already made one.

How can I toast my crumpet in front of the gas heater if I don't have my toasting fork
(And what was a gas heater called in 1948, dammit)

Having a fan at MS feels pretty good, doesn't it I had a friend at a certain graphics company send me company shop swag and a hoodie, and it's still some of my favorite tech related gear.

You HAVE to do a Druaga1 style video where you try to get SimCity 3000 working on Linux. Use an era-appropriate boxed copy of Linux, and an era-appropriate PC. No cheating.

Dude. knowing you and your sometimes childish sense of humour which viewers have picked up on, I seriously looked up on screen and thought it said genuine farts (41: 00)
