Checking out the unique Bear A Byte computer system! I had to have this weird custom machine as soon as I saw it on Craigslist. An IKEA stuffed bear packing a Windows PC running an Intel Pentium 3 CPU? Oh yes. It's rather dirty though, so let's go about restoring and building this rig back even better!

Taking a look at the Radius Pivot Full Page Display! You mightve seen monochrome Radius Portrait displays for the Mac, which were permanently mounted sideways. But not the Pivot! Its an SVGA color computer monitor that rotates 90 degrees for a vertical display in Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS.

Checking out the usual thrift stores in my area and seeing what kind of retro tech and random old weirdness I can find. Then I ended up taking a bit of a detour and dropped by a local gaming and collectors event! And I figured hey, why not roll it up into a Thrifts episode? Lets go thrifting!
