In part one of our 486 Trash to Treasure mini series we're replacing an old noisy 540mb IDE HD with a Compact Flash adapter, making for quick and easy removal to transfer files onto the card using a modern PC. We install it, benchmark it and put it to the test.

It's Trash to Treasure time and today we continue our work on the Apple IIe. We've been introduced to it, now lets make it look like new.

Unboxing of a brand new Commodore 16, accompanied by some music from the C16. This video is from my archives of systems I sadly had to sell, but I thought I'd document the contents of them first for fellow collectors.

Rise of the Robots stinks. There can be no denying it, and yet one man has made it his life goal to collect anything and everything to do with the game. Today we talk about why the game was so bad and the impact it had on gamers and the wider industry, and we get to see the collection.
