i'm gonna upgrade this windows xp laptop to it's max potential
first off i'm getting a proper power supply, since none of the USB-C adapters i have give enough lmfao
but also i'm replacing the hard-drive with a PATA to SD card adapter, and shoving a high endurance SD card in there (i think i got a 256GB one)
and i'm upgrading the RAM from 256mb PC2100 to 2x512mb PC2700
the biggest pain of this will be re-acquiring all the drivers i just got for the laptop lol, but i think i have all the files on the computer itself. if not then fuck me i'll have to see if i can nicely convince the computer to stay connected to ethernet

i think i need to use that plop boot manager
which i needed to get onto a floppy disk
and that was painful lol
and i don't remember where that floppy disk is, but, if i can't find it... well i have a functioning-ish windows XP laptop to make that disk image right now lol

I'm in this weird space where I have both held 3.5" floppies and used raccomputers with floppy drives, but never ractually used a floppy because by the time I needed to transfer data DVD burners and USB Sticks were already readily available

My earliest signs of autism were stacking VHS raccassettes
I have used them a few times since then though, because until hard disk based pvrs started being a thing that was just really the only way you could record shit (yes I know DVD video recorders existed but we didn't have one)

@charlotte godddd my parents probably at some point owned a pre-release version of finding nemo, since one of the teachers at my pre-k worked at pixar, and was able to sneak out a version of the film before it hit theaters
...but alas, they threw out all the VHS tapes a few years ago. before my recent VHS obsession started.
if only ;w;

And then mom raccomplains it's a shortened version
…They even record them with the pseudo-pvr they got which doesn't even let you fast forward because of the ads
