People talk about how terrifying international cartels are, like the ELN. But if you used a computer in the 90s, you knew a group way more hostile: EDLIN. Both of them take you hostage, neither allows a witness—or a mouse—and if you make a typo, they will delete your entire line.

The struggle of a vintage tech collector! Why do so many eBay sellers list "complete" retro builds with a CRT monitor, 3.5" floppy, and CD-ROM... but ABSOLUTELY NO 5.25" DRIVE?!

For some, this means nothing.
For others, a lot.
