The Tandy 1200 - XT-class desktop made by Tandon for Tandy, paired with an EGA monitor, and an IBM Model F keyboard. Running Windows 3.0. #tandy #retrocomputing

The Tandy TRS-80 Model 2000. An MS-DOS (But not IBM) Compatible that runs on a 80186 CPU! It's an odd duck that proved that Tandy Engineers really liked their drugs :D

My domain ccrvb, I've had since 2001. Originally stood for "Comprehensive Computer Repair Virginia Beach"

But I haven't used it for about 12 years except for my email, but now that the domain is back, I need to make a backronym.

I've come up with:
"Casually Contemplating Retro Vibes, Baby!"

If you can think of a better one, chime in lol.

This is the "True Blue" K-mart computer. Celeron 633, 256 MB Ram (originally 128 according to my research)
Has a 2nd hard drive added (original is 8gb, add-on was 20GB).

The masochist who owned this one had it running Windows XP SP3.

The motherboard was made by MSI for LG - who packaged the machine. It's actually quite well built, and has help up very well. #retrocomputing

Does anyone have/maintain a list of "suspect" or "undesirable" servers I can proactively add to my server's Blocklist?

After getting a vintage computer post boosted by an account called "Ethical Pedophile" from a server called "lolicon", I'd like to nip that kind of thing in the bud before it happens again lol.

Being that I'm new to Mastodon, figured I'd post a few of my favorites from the past year or three. This is the #Celery2000. A computer I custom built from a PC/104 Celeron 1000 board. It has a ESS PC/104 sound card, and can double as a 5/12v PSU.

It was built from a Hammond chassis that I modified to fit. Aesthetics were "mid 70's minicomputer". Runs Windows 98, and does it well.

My first Toot. Welcome to my Mastodon server! Feel free to follow and DM if you need assistance on ccrvb.com
