  • I don’t know how young being born in 1996 is, but I definitely got into retro computing when I was in High School. Between watching JonTron, LGR, and a field trip to a retro computer museum with working computers, I fell in love. I ran DOSbox on my school laptop and FreeDOS off of a USB stick. My senior year, mostly playing solitare on Windows 3.1 through DOSBox on my windows 7 school laptop in class.

    In terms of physical hardware, I have a Win98/XP KVM setup with a Trinitron monitor, which I love immensely, especially getting to using 3 1/2 floppy disks. Before I found out about KDE Plasma, I loved to do everything through the retro computers more than the modern ones.

    Also check out protoweb. It brings the late 90s internet back to life on real hardware.

    Although I have never used a commodore 64, now you got me wanting to buy one. I just need to find a way to fit it in with what I have.
