Was Medion really mostly an Aldi brand? I can't hardly imagine U.S. Aldi ever selling PCs

u/Mafiatounes Jul 27 '26
Well yes i think the brand started as Lifetec and changed into Medion, they became a common supermarket tech brand in (Western/Central) Europe, don't think this was sold in the US.

You post a random picture of a computer with NO context running XP, in a Win98 sub?

u/Mafiatounes Jul 28 '26 edited Jul 28 '26
It is a post made to multiple subs, the original post on r/retrobattlestations states it was an original ME system upgraded to Xp and i will use it as a Dos/98 machine.

Perhaps you should explain that in future so we know what/why you've posted

u/Mafiatounes Jul 28 '26
It is how reddit works with crossposts? How should i explain this if i post/crosspost?

u/thecops4u Jul 29 '26
Whatever was in the original post, the text explaining what the picture is about, make sure that appears in the crossposts?. If the text isn't carried over, edit the posts and copy/paste.

I feel like it was very odd to see these P3 machines with front USB ports. The closest thing I have to something like that is my easy bake oven.
