This probably doesn't count as a retro confession but: 1) My only "retro" hardware is my Dell Latitude D600 with Windows ME. I rarely use it. I prefer using my Windows XP/Vista computers for more personal business. I use Linux or Windows 10 for work purposes because web browsing and newer software …

when you say MP4 do you mean H.264 as the current standard in 2020. Or do you mean MP4 as in the many non standardized early implementations. I believe the standard version, youtube videos in the MP4 format worked just fine :) VLC works for this albeit slowly. Old PCs do not have the processing …

Hey Vogons! The other day I made a post questioning whether it was possible to obtain AAC Audio on an obscure MP4 player for Windows 98/Me.

This is late, but yea, you have to buy a third-party adapter. Dell just sucks at meeting their own power requirements. A while back, I bought an old dell charger at a thrift store. It worked fine for a while but due to twisting of the cord, the system claims it doesn't work properly despite working …
