Hi, this is Bill Sikkens host of user
friendly 2.0

2
00:00:02,458 --> 00:00:05,291
Saturdays here on The Answer
with this week's Tech Wednesday.

3
00:00:05,291 --> 00:00:09,000
As we look back at technology,
there's a lot of different devices

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,166
over the years that have been successful
and some not so much.

5
00:00:12,208 --> 00:00:14,458
And this week
we're going to be talking about the

6
00:00:14,458 --> 00:00:18,208
some not so much part,
specifically video game consoles

7
00:00:18,208 --> 00:00:22,000
and old computers that didn't quite
make it into the mainstream

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,166
or did and didn't last very long,
or had some other kind of an issue

9
00:00:26,208 --> 00:00:29,083
that made them become a relic of the past.

10
00:00:29,083 --> 00:00:32,000
We're going to be looking at some systems
that started out in the early 80s,

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,125
as well as some newer things, and talk
about what happened to their companies,

12
00:00:36,125 --> 00:00:37,500
what happened to their equipment,

13
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:41,666
and how some of this stuff
today can be extremely valuable.

14
00:00:41,833 --> 00:00:45,541
If you have one of these devices
sitting in your attic or garage somewhere,

15
00:00:45,541 --> 00:00:48,666
it might be worth getting it out
and looking at putting it on a site like

16
00:00:48,708 --> 00:00:51,666
eBay, because these things can go
for thousands of dollars.

17
00:00:51,666 --> 00:00:55,583
