Holy shit, that calculator thing that looked like an old guy really brings me back. We had a ton of those at school when I was like 10, had completely forgotten they even existed.

The British Telecom thing is an old Prestel terminal (Prestel was the failed equivalent of the french Minitel videotex service).

Stuart, if you're stuck in the Centre for Computing History and need help, blink twice.
@PedroBenolielBonito
These videos about old tech with genuinely passionate Ashens are always the best. The names of the old computers always make me giggle, for some reason.
@n0isyturtle
Honestly, I would watch an entire channel of just this.
@TheAmymeowcat
It is so fascinating watching your videos like this. My grandfather loved all the early computer stuff and I remember the name Amiga from his equipment. He was also into short wavy radio, even had a set up he could send images! Long before the internet was used for such things. Sadly he passed away in 2001 shortly after September 11th. Often times when I watch your computer related videos it makes me think of him. When I was younger I didn't appreciate such things like I do now, so I never learned much about it from him. Thank you for teaching me in his place. I'm sure he would have liked you. I know I do. I have watched 98% of your videos. Take care and keep it up!

I'd laugh if someone there handed him a box full of Pop stations.

That "Bigtrak" RC tank is adorable! I haven't played with an RC car in ages and I still want it.
@AdamDaviesSussex
I love these computer history archive boxes.... Like blind bags, just less shit!
@Mackarious
I love this videos, and Ashens has singlehandedly made me want to go to the Centre for Computer History...

I had a Little Professor as a kid and totally forgot until this moment!! The nostalgia value is incredible
@CzyBam
"Or a snake who's choking on a big Smartie, oh well!" Had me laughing!
@Psychlist1972
I loved the Little Professor. I went through two of them as a young kid in the late 70s. It was the only electronic game I had until many years later. Loved it.
@PsychicRadroach
I really wanted him to pull out the Wii and go "What the hell is this thing? I've never seen anything like it before in my life!"
@UncleFeedle
Little Professor was actually pretty amazing. My education-obsessed dad got me it one Xmas, the year I'd started school. I played on it relentlessly. Within a year I'd pretty much mastered all the number bonds and operators, and even the teacher noticed the improvement. It's only years later that I now realize how great this gadget was. I think they need to bring it back, and all kids starting school should be issued with one as standard!
@lisaisanut
I fucking love these videos, and have absolutely no idea why. Also, the edge connector on that computer card was eerily similar to the HP bus card connector used on the Empire Strikes Back Graflex lightsaber (for my fellow Saber nerds out there). Gave me the tingles.
@custardo
Pretty sure the CRT thing is a Prestel Terminal (old interactive bbs/teletext-hybrid)
@trekkiepro
Keep these coming. I'm learning so much about these old things, and i'm loving every minute.
@Matethepotate
I've just noticed how kind this fan base is congrats ashens on having such nice people subscribed to you
