At first I'm like what's going on? Then it all flashed back to me. Are we going to count up to 512k, 640k, or 640k with 384k extended memory. When we hit 640k and stopped, 1985 flashed back to how many times I sat through that memory check and watched my autoexec.bat scroll by as it set up each of the systems. These days, if my personal computer mouse goes dead or whatever, I can just grab my work mouse, plug the usb dongle in, and keep working with no delay. Changing the mouse driver back then was hell. You had to have the driver on disk. There was no real internet to download it from. And you had to hope it worked because there wasn't much information out there to figure out how to fix it. You would end up rebooting 10 times before it was all working again. That memory count took a century when you were doing all that.

This was ground breaking at the time. I can't tell you how exciting it was if you weren't around before this. We all take these things for granted now. In the late '70s my friend had a TRS-80 with 4k memory and you loaded a program every time you wanted to use it by command prompt LOAD while simultaneously pressing play on the tape recorder, hoping the volume was set to the right level to eventually load the program into memory.

​@@ReasonMakes you realize i already stretched the number to people valuation. Companies and reviews give hard drives 3-5 years max. my 15 years was already very generous consideration if device used lightly. 15 years is estimated of 0 use just literally staying on a shelve which makes no sense. Only thing i can imagine going bad is losing oil in bearings or somehow air seeping into vaccum hard drives. Playing it safe giving just 3 years warranty to devices that can last for decades is really cheapskate. Good manufacturers could make good self advertisement giving 10 year warranty even if they would have to replace half of sold drives.

That is a very advanced machine for the era! I was working setting these up for the offices on the University of Iowa campus at this time. A Hercules card was a considerable step up from the IBM display card. The XT ran its 8088 processor at 8MHz, much faster than the original PC at 4.77. And a 40 MB HDD was a real luxury. Most had only 1 or 2 of the 360 KB FDDs. They came stock with just 64 KB RAM, but many upgraded to 256 KB. It wasn't till the AT came out that we saw much more than that. Our team probably set up 2000 of these bad boys.

Which one? The actual paint or paint 3d? I actually have both on one of my Windows 10 computers.... The problem with paint 3d is that the UI is stupidly complicated (and possibly broken?) for no good reason. Paint, on the other hand, is beautifully simple but has no transparency. In most cases, regular paint is so much better.. 😂

DId that all the way up to Win 3.11.

I had a commodore 64 on 1982. They had the best coding team on earth, later on transferred to IBM after C=64's downfall. We've experienced 16 colours gameplay, had animation and drawing apps, and much more.

This brings back memories. It was such an exciting time using this tech back then.

I still remember the features of old Windows program, the DOS commands, the 5.25" floppy disk, the sound of the boot system, hard drive, etc. Makes me realize that I am really old.

I enjoyed this video very much and it brought back a lot of memories, particularly the installation of Windows from multiple floppy disks. I had (and still have) an original Compaq “luggable” since it weighed about 30 pounds. It had 256 Kbytes RAM and dual 3.5 inch floppy drives. I bought it in 1983. I haven’t fired it up in quite a while, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it still ran. But I was disappointed that you didn’t load two or more apps and have them run simultaneously, with one of them being the clock so that you can see that it was multitasking. Now that was awesome, even though it was “cooperative” rather than premptive multitasking. Each application had to explicitly release the CPU for another application to run, and Windows would decide which one of the ready-to-run applications would execute. But if all applications were well-behaved (i.e. not selfish!) it sort of worked, as long as you didn’t mind waiting while applications were swapped to floppy disk (!) And viewers would get a chuckle to see that Windows 1.x did not have overlapping windows but instead had tile windows. I know, I still have my version of Windows 1.03 which was actually a little older than the 1.04 version shown in the video.

Those old xt sounds take me back. Surprisingly relaxing
