So I've been doing a lot in the hobby but, I recently picked up an old EMP 30 burner. Really wanted to play with it. Over the past 10 or 12 years I've been picking upTowers randomly. Today I knew I needed to go back to at least Windows XP in order to test this puppy out anyways after spending most of the day, the very last computer I tried (Compaq D510). I found it in a closed bank's parking lot about 3 years ago. It just happens to have Windows XP pro. took me a little bit but I got it up and running and connected to the internet at least. I'm pretty sure I have to go into Dos to run the burner, but at least the software is loaded on the computer. On a separate note since I've ordered so many capacitors from APAR I now have a small boatload so I plan on recapping this computer since about 60% of the caps look like they're about to go. Computer was made in 2002 so it's right during the capacitor crisis.
Anyways it's just been a great day for memories. I've always said that XP was my favorite OS, followed by 95, 3.1 98, and so on down the line. I've decided I'll keep this in the garage and have it hooked up, so I can surf the web and read and burn chips. Now I got to remember how to use DOS Again. Every few years I teach myself and then I forget
