I have an Amiga 1000 and I got a bit tear-eyed when I saw one in Stranger Things season 4! I had a hard-drive on it, an old RLL-encoded with ST506 interface (predates ATA?), and it booted up fine just last month even though the drive is from like 1988. I have much more recent PC disks that won't boot up anymore. Having said that, even though all of my asm/bare-metal skills come from hacking the A1000 in asm for several years and I should have warm fuzzy feelings about it, it's a dreary experience starting it now and trying to do anything really.. It's fun for like 10 minutes. Even starting it in an emulator is an annoying experience. The UI on modern computers might look superficially the same as these old Amigas, Ataris and Macs, but a boatload of small details have been hammered out and super-optimized since then for usability.. Back on topic, I think a lot of the computers are still in the attics of middle-aged people. Or older.
