  1. Most soviet computers in the late 80s were still mainframes without a screen

  2.  @ChernobylFamily  I noticed most of them were like printers and had no screen. and even with cga you could do a lot more than with a terminal

  4. In the west in 1988 computers had become a consumer item but in the ussr it was still limited to labs and military bases and universities. part of that is because of poverty but also because the soviet leaders still thought nobody wanted to own a computer anyway. i wonder what would have happened if the ussr still existed in the 90s and 2000s would they only be a few years behind or would they still be using the 8080 in the year 2000 upgrade to 286 in 2008 and 386 in 2016 and by now the should be getting their 486 clone ready.

  5. It would take them until 2050 to make it .Maybe by now they have pentium 4 clones and working on core 2 duo.

  6. Usagi collects very old systems so called "minicomputers" they are from the 70s and even 60s and 50s most collectors don't try to obtain stuff from before the apple 2 because they are so rare and big .its quite interesting because i learned a lot about early computers from his channel that didn't make sense before. like i now know why text only terminals were a thing or what the point of drum memory and core memory .was i used to assume these early computers were just giant versions of the trs 80 but they worked quite differently .

  7. This display reminds me of the ones they had in a park close to were i live in the 90s. for most of the 2000s and early 2010s they were just sitting there not working before they were finally removed and now you can still see the cable and and ruined kiosk were they used to be. people sometimes ask me what was there. its really hard to figure out if you weren't there at the time there are other ruined buildings and other things that have been like that since before i was born or at least before i went there. but if i try to ask most older people they always say they forgot about it because they thought it was boring at the time. Few people care about such nerdy topics especially the older generations don't understand why young people would care about more generic things from the past its quite annoying. sometimes i find an old picture of the thing when it was fully intact and its totally different from what i expected it to be. but nobody who was alive at the time seems to remember it and i am talking about stuff from the 80s and early 90s not stuff only the oldest people can remember .

  8. Знаете, иногда я рад, что это произошло в СССР, не потому что я ненавижу СССР, а потому что я знаю, что если бы что-то подобное случилось в большинстве стран, потребовались бы долгие годы, чтобы это исправить. Вы можете возразить, что советская система была причиной такого беспорядка, но это может произойти и в других местах.

  9. Don't use this computer

  10. I am surprised its not just a luggable with green screen crt monitor that is powered by a car battery. but half of the computer was made in japan anyway.

  11. Its way more difficult and dangerous without computers. and even the first ones used mechanical calculators and analogue computers

  12. That is the ussr for you i wonder what they would be using today if the ussr was still around Pentium 4? or core 2 duo?

  13.  @TinLeadHammer  Yea but that thing only has one purpose unlike a pc
