Phew. It's always rough when it's been a long time since my last video, I worry that I'm in too much of a rush to do a really good job. But on this one, well, A) I'm positive I didn't leave anything out about the PC, and B) I put in the effort (it was actually like two days, not two hours like the video says) to actually compose an original song after 20 years of struggling to get myself to buckle down and just Do It. So I probably don't need to worry too much in the effort department.

Hi! At around 7:00 you say typewriters don’t have a concept of touch typing. They do! They have had it since the late 19th century when touch typing was invented. Indeed you were supposed to float your hands above the keyboard to achieve that (the keyboard angles were a lot more extreme early on), or sometimes the typewriter would be recessed in a special desk to bring the keys closer to your fingers.

I think maybe you're just picking all the wrong DOS games as after making 310 videos exclusively focused on DOS games I've only run into Content-ID issues on about a dozen of them, though I will admit I've taken strides since switching from Blip to YouTube in 2015 to limit how long I'll showcase a single stream of game audio without sound effects or voicework overlaid overtop.

If I recall correctly, those 4-pin power connectors were made by ITT Cannon. And you're right, absolute pain to find them.

Quick question, how did you make the c64 go behind your head? And not in front?
