You mean, you didn’t enjoy the “spill resistant” membrane keyboard? I was trying to describe it to someone a few weeks ago. The best I could come up with was that it was like trying to type on a microwave or stove panel. But not a glass one. Maybe a better analogy would be trying to type on a really cheap remote control - but full keyboard sized. Fun times…
I was too young at the time to appreciate the greater computing ecosystem, but today, I find it fascinating. Growing up, we too had a 400 and then 800, and that’s where I first started. And now you can find YouTube videos building a computer from scratch using the same chips.
