 Have you ever used a computer like this? https://image.nostr.build/e78a418fb03ddcab6874b6281a49f9bedd66f380a4f96018b4062096c65b2131.jpg  
 Yes was the new one. Probably my 3rd computer 
 Yes but older 
 Hell yeah! I even used Windows 98 for a little bit. 
 Bowing 🙇‍♀️  
 Yes 
 The three green lights ... caps lock, num lock, scroll lock 😀 
 Sure did. Floppy disks and all 
 Si 
 Absolutely 😆 
 Blow on it 😂 I need those sounds again.  
 I see you and I raise you. This was the first desktop PC in my house as a kid:

The Tandy 1000. I still remember playing Battle Chess on this thing. 
 I remember when Win ‘95 was the hot new OS. Was never a fan of XP 
 I wish they still made the ball mice. Could be useful on some surfaces, and still faster than touch pad  
 My first was the Swan 386 SX 16, 4Meg of memory and (optional) 40meg hard drive. Went to MANY 'computer shows' and built Many more myself since then, and honestly may have had that very same "full tower' case.
