Verkkokauppa Jätkäsaari
is Europe's largest electronics store, but it has
more to offer than just plain computers and coffee machines.
Verkkokauppa Jätkäsaari
—
крупнейший в Европе магазин электроники,
но там можно найти не только компьютеры
и кофеварки.
For example, they sell nerdy toys. :)
Например, они продают такие
игрушки. :)
We adopted one of the Companion Cubes.
Мы приняли в семью один из
Кубов-компаньонов.
They also have a roaring dinosaur! But you
barely can hear it in this video.
Ещё у них рычит динозавр!
Правда, на видео его особо и не слышно.
There
is even Helsinki
Computer
&
Game Console
Museum.
Есть
даже Хельсинкский музей компьютеров и
игровых приставок.
Most
of it didn't look familiar to me. :) I got my first PC in 2004.
Большинство
экспонатов мне незнакомы. :) Первый ПК
я получила в 2004.
I didn't know there were tape computers.
Не знала, что есть и кассетные
компьютеры.
А
ещё у них на крыше стоит истребитель
МиГ-21бис. Почему бы и нет.

"I didn't know there were tape computers.
ReplyDeleteI did not know what to eat and cluster computers."
Bwahahahaha!
:DDDDDD
DeleteAh, I see what happened. Russian есть means both 'to eat' and 'exists' :) Poor translator.
And, yes, the consumer stuff used C cassettes before floppies. (The drives were expensive.)
ReplyDeleteCommodore 64 was usually packaged with a cassette recorder, but I think you could have used a normal C cassette players too. (I think you had to buy one separately for ZX Spectrum for example.)
See that Tac-2 joystick? Those were *durable*. It's basically a hard plastic shell with a metal rod that only moves a couple of millimeters. It didn't have any actual microswitches: There simply were metal plates on the bottom of a spring-propped plastic buttons pushed against contacts. Similarly the bottom end of the metal rod simply touched a set of contacts to report the stick position. The only problems they ever really had were some oxydation on the contacts and the non-slip foam "feet" crumbling off.
The things I don't know about computers :) Thanks for the info!
