I wanted to pop in and introduce myself since I've been posting and checking this forum daily for the past few days.
I'm from the middle georgia area and of course I love and collect old computers, handhelds etc. I don't have anything too rare or interesting maybe but I do love tinkering and keeping my collection functional.
Currently I've got (in order of release date):
-Toshiba T1000 laptop with RAM expansion and built in modem (DOS 3.30; battery restored with new cells, in beautiful condition!)
-Zenith SupersPORT 286 laptop (fully functional but badly cracked case...ask me about it sometime it's a tragic story) (DOS 3.30)
-SIVA 286 (video output using ega/cga to VGA converter)
-Compaq Deskpro 4/25is (Win3.1)
-Toshiba Satellite 2595CDS (Win95)
I've also got a Samsung CM4531 that now just shows blue lines when I turn it on...I'll probably make a post about that eventually.
Other (tangentially related?) hobbies:
microcontrollers, raspberry pi, handhelds (psion, hpc), linux/unix, PC and DOS gaming
I also play chess at the amateur level. I'm on lichess if you ever want to play just message me! By trade I'm a software engineer (I started programming in the 80s using the GW BASIC book that came with our Leading Edge Model D!)
