Dana@cwebber I have a lot of nostalgia for using my grandpa's old IBM computer as a kid, with the 3.25 inch floppy disks, and an amber monochrome monitor.
The satisfying *kachunk* of inserting a program or data disk, and the springy tactility of ejecting a disk and catching it in your palm. There was something nice about switching disks too.
Caffeine Canidae@danana_dread @cwebber I love those old IBM PCs! I've been wanting to get a monochome monitor for a good while now, but currently haven't been able to find one for a good price. I do have a full IBM 300GL PC setup though! Need to make more use of it...
