It kind of feels like I just did one of these but it turns out the last time was back in July

Yeah time is simply flying by and it bothers me

But at least I've had a bunch of neat stuff show up over the past several months

So let's go through each one of them and admire the fruits of your generosity

First one here comes from Kate and Tony in Canada

Multiple pieces of candies another we got some Smarties Kit Kats a little bit different than the ones I

Have here in the US they look to be rounded and candy coated greetings from Canada's capital. Whoo

Apparently this thing was actually made in Belleville, Ontario

And all the patents have expired so I don't want to make one of these myself

Maybe I could yeah, this just looked absolutely silly

Maybe a picture of it. I'm like, yes, please send this my way. I mean look at it

you clip a keyboard like a giant model m to the top of your

IBM and the Doge that appears to be an IBM ps/2

Model 25. I mean, it's just a couple pieces of plastic I guess, but I thank you very much that one here from Thomas

As promised here's the IBM mousepad

Ooh neat this riff on the logo is famous in the world of logo design made by Paul Rand. Oh, man

That is an absolute classic

Open that up right now. Yeah, I've got a mug with this design on it. I've seen t-shirts pins, you know booklets everything

IBM it's just a I don't know kind of straightforward silly design, but it's also just a classic. So thank you very much

Okay got one here from Tom. I

didn't see any notes, but

This thing is wrapped up. Rather nicely. Oh, yeah

Not quite the normal piece of computing history that I received

But yeah, this is an original piece from the outside of the mosque technology building Mouse technology

Of course. We're the ones responsible for

Especially the chipsets used in Commodores machines for a long long time and you know a whole bunch of other stuff CPUs and whatnot

But then we offered this. I'm like, that's so strange. I can't say no. So thank you very much tom put that right there

No, it's not gonna fall if it did. It's like three inches onto the table. Okay now when hear from William

Okay

Cassette tapes and a bunch of stuff. Hey Clint. I took a few tries to get that

Looking safer work. Yeah, you know sometimes the L in the eye. Oh, yeah, okay

So some different music releases and floppy discs and whatnot. No, I'm not censoring that at all

That is what the title is can't change that. Yeah, I am a VSnares fan

So sounded awesome to me included some other things, too

Unfortunately, it seems he's got a little bit cracked apart during shipment or maybe this just supposed to look like that it kind of fits

The aesthetic but yeah, so these are you know, I've collected a bunch of albums on floppy disk albums

Usually it's just different tracks whether they be MIDI files or I have one that's like just ad-lib music

And then sometimes people try to get like actual mp3s compressed music and put on floppy disks

And of course, these aren't disks at all. These are

Cassettes and so I don't know independent weird releases just things of any kind that are musical and odd. I am all for

There's a machines users guide. Oh, yeah, this is for the e one that's great. Absolutely. Great. I've already covered this but

This man and I see one of these in a while when these tiny little shaped many CDs

I've actually never seen one on a burned CD. Well, thank you very much William. This stuff is great

Okay got one here from Jason in Australia

Here's the retail shareware version Oh Duke took them to I promised ah, yes some shameless plugs

I've seen this show up on eBay and well being that it's an australian

release I kind of thought I'd maybe never get one but

Look at that artwork

Shareware games from all sorts of companies were released by these different vendors

this one in particular seems to be red dragon AB by Aptos software, Burbank, California

So I guess this one isn't from Australia at all

Well, anyway, apparently it made it to Australia

And here it is in my hands. I don't know they always did custom artwork all sorts of companies like this did neat art

So thank you very much. This is a cool addition to the collection. Okay got one here from

Nathan some nice LG artwork right there

Works with a mainframe and as a result of good few of his co-workers have been in the business for a long time

Saw these pins up for grabs at work. They sent me a photo of just a ton of different

technology

Computing related pins. I don't ever wear pins or pin them on anything but I like them

So anyway, we got a couple IBM related ones. They're actually most of these the IBM ones I wanted to take it from them

AIX is a three-letter word. I like this one though. IBM can beat your Wang

I don't imagine that was actually IBM that released that but there was this sort of especially with terminal IBM versus Wang

Going on at the time. That's mr. Nerd to you. That's just silly and then here we got another IBM one

So the IBM report management and distribution system if you print store and protect well, thank you very much Nate

These are delightful, you know, and here's not from a person but from a company retro patents

And you may remember actually did a video on some of their products a while back

So what they do, I mean it's in the name they make retro patents. But yeah, check this out. They've got this new

Process and it can also do sort of a negative image like on black

Instead of white and black it's like black and white, you know, whatever. Anyway, this looks awesome

So thank you very much guys for sending me one of your new products

Got one here from Russ

It's an interesting business card you prop chop

shop

If you need me Halloween stuff, I make props

What what man even your packages are scary?

anyway

Okay, I've seen some of these kind of thing for CD Ronix

What is this? I don't know. Enjoy stick of some kind. Alright. Yeah, so here is the

Main thing that he was sending my way. This is a

PC version of the vide video digitizer

computerize with some documentation software and of course the all-important card itself and these you can actually

Hook up video to this and then capture it - you were an IBM pc-compatible, which is awesome

This was something I briefly mentioned when I talked about the Canon RC 250 still video cameras, you know

They weren't digital cameras yet

But they you could take the still imagery and get it into a digital format with a system like this

So I look forward to trying this out

Thank you very much for the unusual items. And then what is this even almost seems like a demon gun?

kind of

Thing maybe it is. Okay got one here from the packing pros

I'm assuming that's not who it's actually from and just the shipping service

Yeah, I remember the email about these but I don't remember who actually sent them

I'll put that at the bottom of the screen here. Thank you to you

Yeah, I've got a couple of pentium two's here

He's a 400 megahertz really I end for this generation of Pentium

So yeah one is still sealed, which is pretty neat. I

Definitely want to use this as some kind of build

I don't know what pretty much not gonna say no to old CPUs in box. So thank you now. I'm here from Louie. Oh

It's always a special moment

Getting nicely wrapped PC game big boxes, and these were a few I didn't own and these are in great shape

Actually, it was brand new and a you know, still sealed condition Atlantis the lost Empire the lost games

I like these little collections from Disney back then

Yeah, here we go

Another sealed one incredible machine - been wanting this for a while

I have like an incredible machine even more incredible machine incredible machine free

But did not have the second one. This one's a little beat up, but you know, whatever and get that back into shape

This is the original I spy

Cd-rom game and might remember the books while there were a lot of cd-rom games to go along with them

And yeah, it's pretty much just hidden object stuff with a few extra interactive elements in there

Thank you very much for sending these my way

Okay, quite a large one here. I didn't see a name on the front

whoa

This is really cool because this one is actually signed by chris roberts right there

must i've got this neat little CD -

They sent me this after you know, I did my gravis ultrasound video as is the ultrasound experience a demonstration of advanced gravis

We eat evil synthesis soundcards a cd-rom very cool to have

And now the rest of this is wing commander stuff

I have reviewed this but look at all cool things and it's signed by chris Roberts. Anna came with a friggin hat like dude

Thank you very much for this stuff. I am getting larger and this one is from someone you might know if you watch

YouTube and the tech community this is from Matt

In the UK better known as tech, Mon

So yeah, I sent him something

He sent me something and yeah, you know just tradin cool stuff

So I included a mini disc recorder an unusual model

Apparently I did not have one at all and in any kind of mini disc recorder that works

So he sent me this this is darn fascinating a looking unit. I mean is this not the most tech mode thing you've ever seen?

whoa

that is

Just wonderful

Okay, so that's how you open that

and it looks like

The whole thing kind of comes out too and I will need power to do that. That's just what a wonderful device

I mean, seriously, it reminds me of like those PS ones and like an answering machine

So anyway, thank you very much. Matt and go watch tech Mon if you don't already it's a great channel. Ok

Go in here from Emmett. Oh

Yes, this is an IBM personal system to speech adapter

I was just looking up this because I have a related item that I plan to cover actually a couple of them

but then I saw that these existed too and I was about to get one on eBay and then all of a sudden out of

Nowhere and got this email

Saying oh crap. Well, that's

Well that foam is not a good shape Wow

Feels like old like 8-track foam. All right, well, whatever put that back together and clean it up

anyway

As I was saying got an email

Like just as I was about to give one of on eBay and he said oh look I've got one in Bucks

I'm like, yeah, I'll take it because it's really like new old stock for the most part. It's been hoping of course

It's obviously falling apart inside because of that nasty foam, but I can replace that hopefully and thank you very much

This is really cool. Got one here from bite delight in the Netherlands

Can't quite get it all in frame there eat sleep

spectrum repeat ah

Yes

So this right here?

well 3d printed shell a

lot of projects are coming in 3d printed shells nowadays many ways these EDX HD and

This right here plugs into the back of a Sinclair spectrum of you know, various models and provides HDMI output

Which is fantastic

because I've struggled with getting

Good out click over here with you know, ntsc and like these things had, you know, just RF output

Going to a weird channel and I was in Powell just a pain

And then so yeah, this thing is awesome

Hopefully it seems like it might be a great solution and
