I miss the days before the web turned itself into the new mainframe and a world of pain and bloat.

Seriously, pay attention at news webpage. You easily download 10MB of data to get to read 2KB of text and look at 500KB worth of images.

The main computer that I use for everything including work, is 2010 MacPro 5,1.
Can't believe that 12 years almost passed since I bought it, is obsolete and vintage already.
But runs MacOS Catalina, and has an IBM "bigfoot" model F keyboard converted to USB that makes it even more vintage.

My daily driver keyboards are both IBM Model F. One Big Foot Model F 5291 manufactured 10/23/1984 and an PC Model F from 1981. Each require custom adapters to translate to USB.
My daily desktop is a 2011 Dell i5 Optiplex not that interesting but plenty fast with Linux.
