No worries, I don’t think this is out of place. Funnily enough, I think this marks my first Lemmy comment lol.
I was born in the early 00s and I love retro computers. To be more specific:
The practicality, or whether or not they can still be used today, e.g. permacomputing
The art aspect, or how they’re relatively simple and transparent
The challenge of squeezing an impressive program into constrained hardware, e.g. demoscene
The oldest computer I have as of writing is a Fujitsu-Siemens K Amilo 7600 from 2004. The laptop’s GPU lacks 3D acceleration via modern Linux/BSDs and struggles with period-accurate games, so I prefer to use it for studying and maybe a bit of ClassiCube and Quake 3. Most of my exposure to retro computers otherwise is via emulators like 86Box, MAME, and VICE.
