You kids and your fancy smartphones, PCs and IOT devices that tattle on you every minute of everyday don't know what it was like to live in isolated security free from spying, viruses, DRM and constant software updates. My 8-bit computers may not have been much to speak about, but I could fully repair them, make my own crazy upgrades and even burn my own ROMs to customize them far more than any "computing" device today. You'll never know the joys of owning a floppy disk collection or printing out a school report on a dot matrix printer with green bar paper. Dialing up a BBS on a 300 baud modem was the coolest thing ever. We had something truly special back in the 70s and 80s even if most people today can't appreciate it. I still have a Commodore 64, 1541 disk drive and MPS-803 dot matrix printer in a closet at home. Don't be jealous.
The original IBM PC keyboard was heavy enough to take down anything short of an adult bear.
Built cold war tough.
That Model F keyboard.. you can beat someone over the head to death with it, then go right back to typing.
Model M, same thing, a little lighter though. I use one of these at work.
Kids today think we are exaggerating about the keyboard.
They probably used recycled tank armor to make them.
Acoustic couplers or bust
I dialed in to BBSs in far away countries on my 300 baud modem.
It was special. They should be jealous.
