Monday. A day with a habit of repeating itself on a (rather annoying) weekly basis. Silly thing, but one can only hope its oppressive imperium will come to an end. Preferably to a bloody end. After all, that's what Museum Monday is all about. That and (mostly) game related virtual museums, that is. Of course.
Museum Monday #24 in particular is about a virtual and quite real/physical museum hybrid, the aptly named PC Museum, found both here and in Germany. Its exhibits are admittedly impressive, ranging from CRAY supercomputers and IBM transistors from the 50s, to standard 80s home computers and a variety of portable oddities.

Intel's 8008Oh, and if your German happens to be adequate (ausreichend), I would also suggest having a look at The Dot Eaters. It's another fine 8bit games webmuseum.

Try finding where to put your new RAM in that...
ReplyDeleteEverything can be done... Now, where's my RAM fitting hammer?
ReplyDeleteI just used my Dad...
ReplyDelete...to hell if I'm getting an electric shock!
Do I really need Ram if I had that? *Knows the answer is yes but refuses to accept it anyone.*
ReplyDeleteTom? What are you doing there? Your dadd is definitely not a hammer. Unless of course he supports the Hammers, I guess...
ReplyDeleteGamer C, yes, you really do need the RAM, and if you don't mind me saying so, you could generally use a decent upgrade ...
:)
You know, I thought I was the only one thinking Tom used his dad as a hammer. Apparently, I misread his sentence.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about updating my ram soon Gnome. I'm choosing between updating my PC or getting a 360 an DS Lite. The latter seems to be winning for now but I may end doing a little of both.
Well if it's games only you're interested in, I'd say that the DS/Xbox combo is the better choice. If on the other hand you just need a minor upgrade, a decent gfx card and a another 512mb of RAM should be cheaper and quite an upgrade... Then again you might want to run Oblivion in full detail, or use 3dstudio.
ReplyDeleteStill, what kind of PC are we talking about?
another great museum monday Mr.Gnome
ReplyDelete(bows to the diminutive figure)
I do remember opening the back of my sturdy commodore calculator once....
scared the freaking life out of me, opening the back of my computer.....?
akin to bungy jumping without a rope
Same feelings here, but gradually I got used to it... Now I simply open things up instead of bungy-jumping...
ReplyDeleteGood for the heart they tell me.
though i would like to try vampire and Sin and oblivion mods, I can wait a year or so....... for a change of machine..... besides the back of my computer has a sign saying
ReplyDeleteDo Not Open
I'd ignore it... PCs are meant to be opened and fiddled with.. Says so in every encyclopaedia I've searched...
ReplyDeletei dunno the writing is in red..... and has a skeleton on it...... are you sure......
ReplyDeleteYes, quite. Just cast a detect evil spell to be on the safe side. One can never be sure of the ways of the devil Mr. elderly dear...
ReplyDelete(heeds gnomes warning, casts spell.....)
ReplyDeletebloody hell my cigarette packet is glowing..........

ReplyDeletewait bloody typical..... made in Ireland........ geez i shoulda known... could i borrow a detect evil from you .... ill pay you back next week......
Sure sure, have this scroll (of typical/traditional greek crafting quality) for free... Oh, and I'm sure I smoke more, despite being in a cutting it down face...
ReplyDeleteah you've entered the 15 years cutting down phase..... (takes scroll) thanks pal..... (reads scroll aloud.......)
ReplyDeleteback of computer falls off
bloody hell the greeks make great scrolls......

I guess you can look around, see the nice chipsets, gawk at the graphics card, close it again and go to bed...
ReplyDeleteit's very dark in there...... i can see wires and theres a really really pretty light.......
ReplyDeleteJust stay away from the light and you'll be fine. After all, only Frodo is supposed to come to the light.
