Currently drafting an article on why I'm a #RetroComputing 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 #C64 or #Sinclair computers I suppose!); something else?
Genuinely interested to understand people's motivations, so please comment & retoot as you feel fit.
Thanks!
