In this retro hobby we're
In this retro hobby we're all used to working with computers or hardware that's already had a long life of use by a previous owner. This means things are often worn out from use or neglect.
So when given the opportunity to relive the experience of opening a brand new item, it's hard to say no to the opportunity.
So here we have a brand new laptop from 1996 -- let's check it out and see how it fared stored away for 27 years.
