I miss the days when computers were real MACHINES. With the CLACK of a fat button humming and buzzing to life. The whole experience was so different with much more audiovisual and haptic feedback. love it.
To be fair, that has not changed much. I have a Datacenter HDD in my desktop system and the first time powering that thing up sounded like it just shredded the plates and i’m going to be bombarded with shrapnels. But in normal operation, it makes a rather soothing (at least for me) clackety-clack sound. My other, normal desktop HDD not making any noise apart from spinning up is something that i find rather irritating tbh.
Frist thing that comes to mind is write a hello world program XD
I’d probably play around with the OS too. Maybe buy a book to help me explore all the “new” features. I recently found an old palmtop computer with an old school touch screen on my parent’s attic. I had lots of fun figuring out how that thing worked and now I’m trying to tweak it.
