Second channel: Fixing a shipping damaged monitor (Patreon)

Hello my patrons! For the next second channel video, we have a SMMC video, but it's a CRT video as well. A viewer had a monitor that had received damaged (due to inadequate packaging) and offered it to me to help fix another monitor, so that's exactly what I do. The damaged monitor was shipped to me in some of the best packaging ever received here in the basement!

I hope everyone's new year is off to a good start. Thanks for all your support!

I liked hearing your story. My grandparents were like your dad. My grandpa saw computers as the future, so he bought one, and my gram took to it playing King's Quest 1. It eventually taught me how to read with Winnie the Pooh and then they bought me a Tandy 1000EX of my own. Then a T1000 RL (I Think), then their hand-me-down Tandy 2500XL, then my other grandparents bought me a Packard Bell, and ever since that one, I've been building them

I like hearing other people's computing backstories, so I'll share my own. I grew up in the "rust belt" in the 80s. My dad was a laborer, but I'm convinced he would have made a hell of an engineer given different circumstances. When I was 8, I peeled back the wrappings on my Christmas present to see the word "Laser." This was at the height of the popularity of Laser Tag - a gun and sensor tag game - and I almost infarcted my brain I was so excited. But as I continued unwrapping, I saw "128". Seeing my confusion, my dad told me "It's a computer, like the ones you have at school." I had just a bit of experience with the machines in the computer lab - a few Apple IIs - at this point, but this would be an absolutely pivotal moment in my life, much like many of you fellow patrons of the digital basement. I remember first setting it up with an old TV, though we later got a color monitor. Every few weeks my dad would come home after his shift with a new box of hand-labeled floppies and photocopied manuals. "Here you go, you'll figure it out," he'd say. I later learned that there was a local guy who would help other working class folks pool their money to buy software and provide cracked copies. Many, many games (Sierra games, Below the Root, and Law of the West were some favorites), Print Shop, AppleWorks - all the cool programs you'd expect. When I wasn't running around in the woods, I was usually having a blast on that beautiful machine. It was there that I took my first (of many) steps in programming. I cannot recall those times without remembering the totally badass hardwood desk he built - with a matching printer stand - to house the Laser. That desk eventually followed me to college! And while I appreciated all of this at the time, it's even more stunning to me now that my folks had the foresight to purchase such a gift for their children and were able to afford it. Folks from the area I grew up didn't make much, and though the Laser was more affordable than the Apple it cloned, it was still a lot of dough. My best buddy's parents pulled a similar trick and got him an Atari 800XL. We spent countless hours playing on that together after school and during the summer. Joust, Kaboom, and Robotron stand out as favorites. Around the same time, my parent's friends had a C64. We wouldn't visit them too often, but I always loved it when we did. They had kids my age, and we would play Jumpman and Zaxxon. I remember wondering what the hell was up with LOAD "*",8,1. Hah. Later, in high school, another friend convinced me to spend my saved up lawn-mowing cash (with some parental supplementation) on a IBM PS/2. He ran a local BBS and taught me about modems, something that nobody I previously knew owned. Again, my world grew vastly larger, as you can imagine. I think I lived in Telix for an entire summer. We used to have a small plastic chit I would hang on the phone when the line was occupied. I know my sister was super sick of seeing that thing all the time. Years later I have a graduate degree in computer science and have spent my career writing system software; work that I absolutely love. Though he sadly passed away far too young, I was incredibly proud that my dad lived long enough to visit me on the campus of my employer, far away (geographically and otherwise) from our rust belt home. My parents decision to buy that Laser128 is 100% the reason I do what I do. I'm sure many of you have similar stories. Watching Adrian's videos is like having a direct feed into this super positive part of my memory. I'm grateful for it.
