I completely understand Generation Z’s fondness for vinyl, cassettes, my 22 year old has a 1930s typewriter, it’s beautiful. But something that’s harder to explain is that 1980s computing did not distance us from the code. I had forgotten that I wrote my masters thesis on a 1990 IBM & in WordPerfect

Imagining a world in which IBM really went after all the B2B shit that actually makes Microsoft money and I don’t want to ever hand it to IBM for many historical reasons but they’d probably be less annoying to deal with and at least they have Red Hat.

apparently there is a mini RCA connector
IBM ThinkPad 750 TV TUNER card with two RCA jacks, but they are tiny. a red RCA plug sits nearby for scale.

Microsoft's RAMCARD™ with RAMDRIVE™ takes the whir, click, and wait out of the IBM PC. (Source.)
Up top, a bored bemused businessman looks at the cameraman, while the IBM PC he is sitting at reads: "DISK DRIVE IN OPERATION." Below, the ad quip: "Microsoft's RAMCARD™ with RAMDRIVE™ takes the whir, click, and wait out of the IBM PC." Dense ad copy follows, with headings "Solid State Disk," "Fast and easy.", "64K to 256K", "A complete subsystem", "More Tools For IBM," and "See for yourself." At the very bottom is the Microsoft "pixel earth" logo, with the slogan: "Better Tools For Microcomputers."

Trying to put it in a way the shitheads will understand
The famous IBM quote of "a computer can never be held accountable. Therefore a computer must never make a management decision" altered to read "if a man can never be held accountable then a man must never make a management decision"

I had almost forgotten about Twitter partnering with IBM way back in the day, which led to absolutely nothing happening

BREAKING: Intel, $INTC, extends losses to -30% on the day, now on track for its biggest decline on record. Not even the Dot-Com bubble or 1970s saw a decline in $INTC like this.

I had to create documents on an IBM Selectric way back in the day. So using a computer is "cheating" then.

I had an IBM thinkpad laptop that would immediately turn off everytime I walked into the datacenter where I worked. Turned out the faraday cage around the HD was missing. We scrounged one up and that fixed the problem. I think that’s my oddest “wha happen” computer problem. I did run Linux on it lol
