Retro computing is alluring because it comes with the technical optimism of the 80 and 90s.

Going back to that technical empowerment, creativity and possibilities of that era is a good thing. We need that in our world

@hugoestr absolutely. we've been saying for a while now, while we can't reconstruct the past because it no longer makes sense in a modern context, we can pay attention to what was good about it and bring those things forward, find ways to make them work today

in our view, the core thing to cherish is the idea that computers are tools to expand the human potential for creation, discovery, and connection

@hugoestr everyone should have the opportunity to learn how computers work, if they choose to, for the same reason that everyone should have the opportunity to learn how to fix their own car

it's empowering, it helps you chart your own path and not be adrift in a sea of unpredictability
