Last week I made a post asking if I should buy an old vintage monitor.
Well, I went back to the recycled goods store this week and it was still there, so $30 later I have it, and it seems to just work*
There’s very little about this monitor on the internet, so I’m thinking of documenting as much as I can about it, especially as it’s Osborne branded so there could be some interesting history behind it.
* The power button is stuck on, and it does an occasional unsettling arc sound and the image slightly distorts for a millisecond. I believe the latter is fairly common among old CRTs but I don’t know much more than that.
Bruh this would have been the most bad-ass website on the internet in 1998.
The closest thing we had at the time was Craigslist missed connection.
We made do.
We had IRC and AIM but it just wasn’t the same.
We searched yahoo and lycos. We asked Jeeves. We had it all.
