     @nixCraft can hear the noise looking at that. They would seem so so slow now but coming from an 8 bit micro and cassettes they were amazing.

     @nixCraft Never forget what they stole from you. We could have had universal slots for NVME or SATA, but big cable fucked this up to sell their strings of copper.
