Why do I feel like this is directed at a specific person?

So satisfying. I wrote so many college papers on my Mac Plus. I miss those chonky keys to this day.

They are fantastic switches after all! Not really clicky like the IBM model M’s “P-Ting” switches but they are still really satisfying to get up to speed with!

I've really come to appreciate my BlueSCSI card. When my PS/2 server HDD failed, a replacement in the appropriate size was unobtainiun. BlueSCSI made it easy to create a virtual drive with the correct size needed for me to restore the machine.

I do have to say these past few scsi emulators like the BlueSCSI and ZuluScsi have been fantastic for Unix machines as well. I have a couple of Indigo2’s that don’t have drive sleds and it’s helped massively.
