    I also have gigabytes of old cool programs and utilities you can no longer find on the net.

    My 486 is probably broken as fuck.
    I highly doubt those barrel batteries have held up in the back of a truck traveling through Siberia, across a salty ocean in the middle of summer, or the caring hands of greasy Italians in Jersey and now they sent it to fucking Florida where it is hot as balls and building fall down.
    Now it is on another truck traveling through the heat and humidity back up my way to Ohio.
    I except everything to be cracked, exploded and dented by the time I get it if I ever do.

    You can get very cheap 386/486 computers from Savers/Value Village. Probably under $20.

    If you got it on Ebay your money back Guarantee has probably long expired too, I think you get 30days from after the PROJECTED delivery date (not the actual delivery date).

    I just had this problem with some drive belts I ordered from Portugal, gave the guy extra time to the point the 30 days was up, then the twat said it's not his fault it went missing.

    After a bit of a back and forth though he sent me replacement ones because he didn't want the negative feedback.

    There's 5 or 6 of them in the one near me.

    Canada isn't as fast-paced or as modern as the US. It's still old-fashioned in its customs. Although the commie fascists have now noticed that as well.

    It all kinda makes sense now why you struggle so much with small things like getting an apartment.

    Ur a good dude but come on man.. 390 dollars literally woulda payed for half a class at a community college and u could be working on a degree.. instead you buy decrepit old computers to play ddos games on because it has a turbo button?

    Dude...

    What did they put it on, a bicycle?

    Maybe they used a completely obsolete and out of date computer that should have been chucked in the bin long ago to calculate its route?

    Soon, just like China, they'll be burning coal.

    Canada is anti-coal, anti-oil. The Marxist clown globalists now controlling the country want everything electric, so they can switch people they don't like off at the flip of a switch. They don't want you using energy sources you can produce yourself. They're anti-freedom goons, and very clever.

    Burning electricity doesn't make any CO2 since it is extracted from copper ore.

    The electricity is produced by fossil fuels and nuclear power. It's a total scam. They don't care about the environment at all, in fact they're the ones destroying it, all they care about is having a method of energy control which provides them ultimate power.

    Can we stay on the topic of my 486 and not veer off into discussions about coal burning power plants?
    please
