Tim Holyoake<p>Currently drafting an article on why I'm a <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> enthusiast. I'd be interested to understand why other people enjoy this as well - is it love of old hardware, software or emulation; is it a dislike of modern computing; is it about preserving the past; love of obscure things (or not so obscure if you're interested in the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/C64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>C64</span></a> or <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Sinclair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sinclair</span></a> computers I suppose!); something else?</p><p>Genuinely interested to understand people's motivations, so please comment &amp; retoot as you feel fit.</p><p>Thanks!</p>
