Can't remember anything, but something I've wondered about is:

Anyone have a clue what kind of computer that is in the background in Jerry Seinfelds apartment? I know it changes at some point during the seasons.

He had a classic mac for awhile, then a Duo setup for a little bit. Can't remember the others off-hand, but I think there were one or two more.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Macintosh_6100 says the Power Mac 6100 replaced his Powerbook Duo.

In some of the last episodes, I think Seinfeld had a Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh.

This is kind of a fun site

I sometimes experience such stuff, in cartoons. If not in films. So yeah I am a nerd, but hey I am a human too 😀

Happens all the time, not only in TV Shows, but in everyday life too.

Something similiar happened to me for a while, I saw acronyms related to computers everywhere I looked that had some text or numbers, license plates, random newspaper advertisement, you name it... stuff like DDR, RGB ,HDD, RAM, PCI, CRT, AGP or numbers like 32 ,64 ,128 , 256 , 512 , but I'm better now thank you 😅

That site is awesome GXL750, it reminds me of IMCDB (Internet Movie Car Database) but for computers.

Better ? is that an illness ? seriously, I get the same nerdy feeling. When I begin listening to music. And believe me, I got the chills of awesomeness , when it came to those things you just said unless. You are talking about DDR as Dance Dance Revolution, then I am out . 😉

You know you're a retro nerd when you spend $65 (incl postage) on a floppy drive.

Damn Apple II's...

Lol I thought the same thing and what a shame that it was burnt. Did you see that dual slot 1 Dell board in the first episode? The coolers gave it away 😉

You know you're a retro nerd when you can pick out the fact a character on a random TV show is using an ISA SCSI port card as a computer prop.

My wife- "What is that card he has there?"
Me- "...SCSI Card. Possibly parallel port, but it looks like a SCSI to me. It's definitely an ISA bus peripheral."
Wife- *blank stare*
Me- "Very old computer tech, dear." 😀
Wife- "Ohh."

🤣 Gold 😀

You know you're a retro nerd when you hang around on Vogons.

Howard Wolowitz from Big Bang Theory has a classic Mac on a shelf in his bedroom. Watch closely the next time the next time they show him in his room at his mother's house and it should be pretty easy to spot.

Oops, I think that makes me a retro nerd...Damn!

In Revenge of The Nerds, you can spot a Tandy CoCo being used in the big musical performance the nerds stage.

There was an episode of storage wars (or something silly like it), they found some random junk in it, but completely failed to mention the 1970's mainframe parts. The cassette reels alone sold for $100 EACH and I remember seeing at least 20 on the shelf.

bleh.

Here's a classic retro nerd moment
