Hey all,
Yesterday I had the sudden urge to go and dig out one of my old machines. My main goal was to recover old POTCO screenshots as I did not have them on any of my current machines.
After fumbling around in the attic for a time, I finally managed to locate my old tower. It was caked in dust and needed a cleaning. In all of its lifespan, it had never been opened up and dusted out - so I took to that task immediately. All throughout the process, I was giddy and wanted to boot the machine ASAP to look through the hard drive in pursuit of my goal.

If anyone is interested, here are the machine's specs:
Model: Sony VAIO VGC-RB62G
CPU: Intel Pentium D 920 @ 2.8GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2 x 2MB L2 cache
GPU: ATI Radeon X300 (128MB)
LAN card: 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet i-LINK
Sound card: Logitech X-530
Storage: 320GB (2 x 160GB drives) 7200rpm
Memory: 1GB DDR2 (2 x 512MB), 533MHz
OS: Microsoft Windows XP (Media Center Edition 2005)
Anyway, here's the part you most likely clicked on this thread for: the screenshots I uncovered! Most of them are rather random, but they're from 2009.
I was hoping for more, but I remembered that I had that machine wiped long ago to clean up some viruses. I wish I would have saved everything else. Nonetheless, I'm glad I dug these up - it was so nostalgic.
