I have committed a sacrilegious act!! We are welcoming this Toshiba Satellite Pro 435CDS into the collection 😅 120MHz of Windows 95 goodness. Took a gamble on a "my dad got this for my stepmom and it's been in a tub in the closet for almost 30 years" listing and it paid off 😁

Don't worry, this is the only working vintage Windows computer in this house

Tonight's entertainment is brought to you by The SoftAd Group for Ford Motor Corporation. A surprising amount of fun in one floppy, this application includes details on the whole 1989 Ford lineup, as well as a few games and useful buyer tools. Would have spent hours with this as a kid in the early 90s 😅

My amazing husband got these for me for my birthday 😊

December 17! It's a Mavica!

Here is a later model that was lightly used back in the day. This platform-agnostic camera was revolutionary for its compatibility and ease of use. The optics weren't bad either! 📸

These are also very reasonably priced, and new batteries are affordable and available. Highly recommend!

Keyboards multiply overnight, right? This is only the tip of the iceberg 😬
