A Hardware Initiative

In the hobby of “fooling around with old computers,” there is a bit of rhetoric about something being added to the experience through working with actual hardware, regardless of whether an emulator has “CRT blurring effects” and “disk drive noises.” There might be a bit of grandstanding and conspicuous consumption to this, of course. For my own part, I do have to admit to having some old hardware. However, I only have enough open table space to set it up for a limited time. What with carrying things upstairs and down and snarls of cables and cords, most of the time I’m quite happy to use emulators.
