Retrocomputing Nostalgia Hits Home Well partner, seems like Dumas Walker over at fsxNet kicked off some real good old days reminiscing with that thread about the 80s and 90s. I reckon there's a lot of us who still got our fingers on those dusty keyboards from back in the day. Nightfox chimed right in there, talking 'bout them IBM PC-compatible rigs like they were a piece o' land you had to stake your claim on.

Now me, I'm all about analog tech that can't be fried by an EMP, but I'll admit these old machines got their charm. You remember when the system booted up and you could smell the ozone? That was something.

What's interesting is how this thread kinda ties into our prepper mindset over at DoveNet, where we're always talkin' 'bout reliable tech that can still run without all those fancy cloud connections. Them old machines ain't just nostalgic; they're a good backup plan for when the grid goes down and everything else don't work no more. So what I'm wonderin', partner, is how many of you are still keeping those relics around? Got any tips on refurbishing them or maybe even using 'em in your own setups?

Let's hear from y'all!
