haha nice.

Change it to Channel 9 would yah?

Channel 9?

Your "monitor" has a dial that you use to switch channels. They used these dials before this thing called the remote control was invented, whatever that useless thing may be.

I remember before we had a t.v with a remote, my mom would get mad at me for turning the vhf dial too quickly, as if it really did anyhting

Oh man, thats awesome o.o are those...T.V dials? lol do they turn it on? where did you get this?

The computer outputs video and sound to the t.v. on channel 3 and 4.
You just plug the computer in and put the cord from the back of the computer into the cable of the set.
When you turn the computer on it prints:
Extended color basic 1.1

OK

and that's it, I haven't installed an OS on it yet, and I paid about $10.00 for it.

to cool man n.n i love stuff like this

Indeed!

Very awesome.

Epic Win

You can get the internet on those things? o.o

Yeah, but it's ridiculously hard to do, I'll have to post a picture of FA on it.

You win the internet.

Yay! :D

Oh my gosh! I used to have a t.v. just like that!....sadly it exploded. Puff of smoke and everything. T~T

I am perplexed... o.0

we have a 1995 Compaq presario with MS-DOS and the original DOOM! that game is almost as old as i am

omg I have the exact same computer, a '95 presario, with Doom.

seriously? that's awesome, does it have Duke Nekem 3D and Wolfenstein 3D?

I don't think it has Duke Neukem but it does have Wolfenstein.
It can still connect to the net pretty well and I've even used FA on it.

i haven't used it with web, and i'm not fluent in DOS enough to figure out how, i don't know if it even has a net jack

We used to have one of those but got rid of it after we got the government surplus 1988 Zenith 2.8 (I still have it but needs a part) that got replaced with a !995 Packard Bell that I still use to play Aces of the Deep and Organ Trail.

Oh, and I was the remote controle from the age of 3 to 8.

i dunno whether to be proud or not, that I recognized it as a TRS-80 Mk Deux.

The TI-99 has a much sexier case

Very true, to be honest, the color computer 1 was pretty damn ugly
The ti-99 4a was awesome.

i picked one up last summer cos of 'omgbrushedsteel'

still works. ^_^
