Why did old PCs have key locks?
- johnny-map 10y agoGreat Video! Minor nitpick (And he did mention that he wasn't counting things like workstations and servers), but the history of Key locks on desktop size computers was not a novel idea in 1984. At my university there's a busted Data General Nova (1969) front panel with the lock cut out gathering dust in a cardboard box. I wouldn't be surprised if even earlier computers had locks, although most probably weren't desktop size like the Nova.
- saycheese 10y agoTo expand on that, very old computers were the size of rooms and I would be very surprised if those rooms were not locked.
