Red Hat Linux 6.1 was released in October 1999, 25 years ago this month! Previously I installed it on my Pentium 100 and worked through a few configuration issues - now it's time to check out the state of those early GNOME and KDE desktops and the rest of the Deluxe package!

In a previous video I upgraded my original 2007 "polycarbonate" Intel Mac Mini's CPU, RAM and storage. I also tried to get an external GPU working to replace the frankly awful onboard GMA 950 graphics, but I couldn't get it to work. Well, I'm back - and with some good news...

In July 2006, Microsoft discontinued support for Windows 98, 98SE, and ME. In 2011, they switched off the Windows Update service for those operating systems completely.
So what if I told you that all this - and a lot more - is back thanks to a community effort?
Windows Update Restored (and similar service LegacyUpdate for XP) fully integrates into these old versions of Windows just like the good old days. So lets update Windows like it's 1999!
Well, 2006, I guess...

In the 1990s, Tiny Computers took over the British airwaves, print press, and even indeed the high street with promises of affordable family PCs that would get Britain browsing. It also happens that my family were one of their customers - so let's check out this Tiny PC and learn all about the story behind it!
Thanks to @StevesTechShed and Dave from @ThisWeekinRetro for supplying additional material used in this video!

In 1986, after a troubled few years, Atari finally released their 7800 console. The first Atari console to be outsourced to an outside company, the 7800 was a flawed machine but all the more fascinating for it. So let's find out the story, perform a UAV composite and s-video mod, and check out some of the interesting and unique games on the Atari 7800!

In 2006 Apple released their first generation of Intel machines. This range included the MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Pro, and Mac Mini - and I bought one, brand new! Surprisingly for Apple machines, they were quite upgradeable, and so 18 years later and armed with eBay and money to burn, I decided to bring my trusty old Mac Mini out of retirement and finally let it live up to its full potential.

Windows 11's hardware requirements have been something of a bone of contention among PC enthusiasts, particularly as it seems to run perfectly fine on "unsupported" hardware. So I decided to take this to the extreme and install it on a 20 year old Pentium 4 system with 2GB of RAM...

The Atari VCS was launched in 1977 with an initial launch lineup of 9 games - Combat, Air-Sea Battle, Star Ship, Indy 500, Street Racer, Video Olympics, Surround, Black Jack, and Basic Math (or Fun With Numbers). But the CX-26 numbers associated with these games aren't sequential. I wonder why that is?

In this video I sit down to chat all things YouTube and retro computing with Sean from Action Retro, one of my favourite YouTube channels. Since the channel started in early 2020, Action Retro has rapidly grown thanks to a relentless release schedule and consistently high quality, entertaining videos covering a variety of retro computing subjects. He's also the man behind retro search engine FrogFind and 68k.news, a news site targeted at older computers.

The Atari VCS began life as an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, eventually going on sale in 2021. This AMD Ryzen mini PC features the Atari Vault, a collection of classic 2600 and arcade games from Atari, as well as its own storefront, streaming apps and Antstream Arcade.
Here are my genuine first impressions of this machine, overcoming some problems, and eventually finding a solution to all of my woes - by replacing the entire OS...

The PC-9821 is one of the later models in the now-legendary NEC PC-98 range of computers. In this video I restore this quirky Japanese machine while learning all about its history and how it relates to the iconic PC-88, and how both computers spawned a whole industry of home computer gaming in their homeland of Japan thanks to their advanced graphics and sound capabilities.

The Atari 2600+ is a brand new reimagined version of the iconic 1977 games console. In this review I check out some possibilities that the other reviewers may have missed - like Atari 7800 PAL compatibility, hooking the new 2600+ up to a CRT monitor, flash carts, the 7800 2 button controller - and perhaps the most important question of all - will it work with an original vintage Atari lightgun!?

This is the third public update in my ongoing office studio build series. In this one I'm sent a FlexiSpot E7 standing desk to review, clad the back wall, add a long overdue improvement to the window display to make it even more museum-like, and finally bring all of my camera and lighting gear over to start filming in here!

Pinball, arcade games, mechanical games and more - getting hands on with vintage and retro gaming history at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas! Learn the history of Atari's pinball division and Syzygy's Computer Space, Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney's first ever arcade video game from 1971. Of course, I also check out 100 years of pinball history and some more familiar arcade games too.

Clint - AKA LGR or Lazy Game Reviews - started his retro computing and gaming YouTube channel way back in 2006. As others have come and gone, LGR's cozy, thoughtful, educational and - most of all - high production quality videos have stood the test of time. As a result, his channel has steadily grown to over 1.5M subscribers - not including his side channels LGR Foods and LGR Blerbs!
So let's chat all about old tech, YouTube, and everything else that takes our fancy.
For links to videos, channels, and other things mentioned please visit: ctrl-alt-rees.com/2023-08-24-interview-with-clint-basinger-lgr.html

I missed out on the N64 the first time around. So I decided to pick one up from Japan while they're still super cheap, install RGB amp and Gamebox Systems 64HD HDMI video output mods, and check out some of the best games on the system!
All clips property of their respective owners, please see ctrl-alt-rees.com/2023-05-26-discovering-the-n64-for-the-first-time-in-2023.html for credit / further information.

Digital Research's Graphics Environment Manager - or GEM - was released for PCs and the Atari ST in 1985. Unfortunately it was a liitle bit too close in look-and-feel to Apple's recently released OS on the Macintosh (and earlier the Lisa), leading to legal pressure to remove certain features. This is the story of how GEM 1 ultimately ended up being by far the most feature-packed release as a result, and how this may well have lead to Apple and Microsoft becoming the dominant desktop platforms throughout the 90s and beyond.

In this solar kit review and installation HOWTO I show how I installed the system, how much solar power I'm getting from it in the UK, and show that my YouTube channel and working from home efforts at least can be self-sufficient and off grid without the need for an expensive full house rooftop solar installation.
