LGR - eMachines eTower 566 (Patreon)

https://youtu.be/qQo0yOqOb_4

I'm back from the trip! As of Friday I am home again from the 12-hour-long drive back and forth to the VCF Midwest show, and after a solid day mostly spent sleeping from sheer exhaustion I started working on this video to try and get back into the groove of things.

This is actually the one PC that I purchased at the show: the "Never Obsolete" eMachines 566ir! It's one of those that I appreciate less for its capabilities and more for the context in which it existed back in the day. Y'know, that silly yet effective marketing that made it not only free*** to take home, but also offered that infamous claim of always being up to date if you took advantage of the upgrade program that provided a new computer every to years. It's something I've talked about before on LGR in my Tech Tales episode about the company, but I've wanted to a bit of a closer look at one of the systems themselves for a long time and finding this one complete was just the opportunity to do so.

And now to see if I can find my footing on the VCFMW video, jeez. My brother and I ended up recording nearly 300 gigabytes of video at the show and around town, so I have no idea if that'll come together in time for next week or not. We'll see how it goes. In the meantime I hope you enjoy this eMachines thing!
