Video Description
The eMachines 566ir is a computer I appreciate less for its capabilities, and more for the context in which it existed in the year 2000. Retail rebates that made it cost $0* to take home, plus the infamous claim of NEVER being obsolete! I've discussed this on LGR Tech Tales but I've wanted to take a closer look at one of the actual systems, and finding this one at VCFMW 2022 complete with all the stickers was a prime opportunity. ● LGR links: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● The 566ir restore CD-ROM is available for download here: https://archive.org/details/eMachines-eTower-566ir-Restore-CD ● All background music licensed from: http://www.epidemicsound.com #LGR #Retro #computer
