I am drooling with hacker nerdocity. A beautifully organic 45 year old still-working box passed on from a protohacker connected to a defcon-stickered terminal browsing the web on a cli....I need to look away
total nerd porn!
I am always amazed just how much shit you can do without a computer in analog. Like a 1900s record player just uses such simple techniques to play sounds, but living in the 21st century it seems almost impossible to do without a computer chip and a sound card and some software.

It's like a steampunk modem, except in earnest.
