LLMs actually makes retrocomputing a lot more "fun" because you can slop out things that would take way too long to do by hand for pure art and exploration.
EDIT: Or was it “Sneakers” (1992)?
This experience brought a couple of firsts:
My first time using the internet on a screaming fast, dedicated T1 line. Unbelievable to see Netscape load a site so quickly.
And: my first time seeing an SGI Indy. A row of them, in fact. This set off a fascination with operating systems outside System 7. I was so excited to get my hands on MkLinux, BeOS and later Rhapsody/OS X developer preview.
I started checking after it said "these systems are six years old". Yeah, it's been a bit longer than that...
