anybody into retrocomputing?

[boogers]

i wanna get some classic beige powerpc/68k macs and finally write my novel

it would also be interesting to use one for making music. limiting yourself with hardware might make your music better. outkast did aquemini before windows 98 came out.

and of course if you wanna play classic games theres no better way.

anybody into retrocomputing? what do you have?

Tried that ages ago and not going back

In this age of technology where you can just experience retro anything through VM. I'm talking the whole windows decades of experience, it just feels like a outdated experience.

Also who wants to lug a heavy ass CRT monitor

real spit with them talking points. Especially the Think pads that can withstand a tank running over it.

I've been watching a bunch of retro computing content on youtube recently. LGR is a good place to start.

Probably would never get into it myself, but it looks like a fun hobby.

 

[Diunx]

Nah, not interested in outdated software and weak ass, ugly looking hardware.

I hate even running one of those machines virtually. I emulated the Sharp X8600 and NEC PC88 and 98 to play some games and its such a pain in the ass.

Having to change your CPU speed when your game is running too fast

Having too much ram installed

Having too little ram installed

Changing disks every 5 minutes

Decided the cool pixel art wasn't worth the hassle and just played the games on other platforms

No.
