Hello fellow Lainons, I am currently posting from a Gateway E-3110 pentium 2 windows 98 SE computer via ethernet cable through the web browser retrozilla. this is my "battlestation". The computer on the top left is the gateway, the one in the middle is my modern computer for use with modern sh!t, and the one on the right I don't use anymore. I managed to acquire the IMac G3 locally for about $40, I can access everything else on it except Lainchan so the Gateway will do for now. For the next couple of months this will be one of my only ways to be able to communicate to the outside world here in the woods, should be fun while my mental state slowly decays and my far off surroundings quickly collapse.

$40 ??? where did you get such a cheap discount? from a thrift store or some yard sale?

From neither, just some random dude in my area on craigslist. He was nice enough and I never noticed any red flags coming from him. Funny thing is when he got the IMac from a garage sale, the previous owner never wiped out his hard drive and all his old sh!t was still on it, and it was ALOT of p0rn, thankfully i didn't come across anything illegal, mostly flinstones milfs and big&ss pubes as well as some f*cking eye burning granny sh!t.

Nice find!

This is where I get all the best deals on old tech. People are practically giving away old desktops because they just use their laptop for everything.

Bruh. that guy has the worst taste in porn I've heard of in a loooong time. I'm not gonna lie, that almost bummed me the hell out... If it weren't for how amazing this setup is. This is the most lain-appropriate setup I've seen in a while. Ugh I forgot I even had one of those beige CRT monitors with the speaker bars built into the sides. I would love to have one of those again. Copland OS has hardly ever looked more at home.

What do you have in the cooler master case?

Yes yes, crt's are cool. And that bulky, bony keyboard actually arouses me. But why win98 tho? Wouldn't some lightweight distro be better? novice tech guy asking
Also, a retreat from society into the woods? Care to... care to talk about it?
Also also, dodging word enhancers of lainchan.org is genuine heresy.

Nice setup, lain. Are you still on your retreat? I wish I was outside of society right now

CRTs aren't really any worse for your eyes than any other displays.
