I don't get retrocomputing. I'm not against it, y'all do you, I'm happy that you've found something cool that works for you, I just don't get it. I especially don't get whatever cursed thing @dabeazDavid Beazley is doing (I guess "if ed was good enough for Ken Thompson" etc etc). It's like Alex Honnold deciding to do El Capitan blindfolded. Why not?
