I couldn't understand it but nice stuff 😀

Cool collection you've got! Also, you look like a sympathic person. ^^
I'm glad you share the same hobby as we do.

I wished I could at least read those glyphs.
It's Cyrillic script, I assume ?

Thanks ! Yes. that's Russian langauge and the Cyrillic script.

aNd translation of my speech - I tell them that I began my collection in 2006 when my friends were to throw out a 486 laptop- I took it home and realised that a lot of computer stuff I dreamed of in the youth or childhood can be found like that in people's attics and bought for a bottle of wine or something - ) Then I tell them that I have mostly PC's, macs and a Amiga 3000 and wish to buy an Apple][ and a Z-80/Cp-m machine. In the end I tell them that all that computers for me are like a time travelling machine... That there was a writer, that impressed me much - JAck Finney - in his novels about time travel - there's no technological time machine but to get to the past a enviroment of that age is created in a place, that didn't change much from that era - and you get there. So that computers return me feeling of me young like 1992 or 1995 - like a time machine)

Excellent. I tried really hard to understand, but my Russian is at about kindergarten level, so I only caught about one in ten words. But I got the gist through body language, facial expressions and the hardware you showed. Thank you for sharing 😀

What happened with your phantom.sannata.ru account? Have you been banned?

cool video and cool collection!

I didn't understand either but it was a fun watch nonetheless - nice to see these old computers in action.

What is the device on your desk at 1:14?

Me, too ! I rememeber about 1989-1992 at my faher's job there were IBM XT's with orange monochrome screens - oh my - how did I want one !

Now have two HGA monohrome CRT's - but the are just stored at the moment - lack of space)

And that's a Toshiba'1987 T3200 laptop - a 286/12mhz/1024k RAM/40mb MFM HDD/EGA. Actually it's not very comfortable to eyes

I'm so jealous! I've wanted to grab one of these, ever since reading William Gibson's "Pattern Recognition". 😀
