I'm feeling a particular nostalgia tonight for font rendering on 1 bit-per-pixel, high resolution, white-phosphor CRT displays. Like a Sun 3/50 (19" 1152x900 which was 1/4 of the RAM of the machine!)
I've this theory about people being into retrocomputing, and at least why I used to be drawn towards it. If you're someone who loves computers, it feels nice to give our inner children the cozy experiences they deserved. I'm hesitant though, because in the past this turned into a unhealthy collecting/hoarding hobby for me, instead of a creative one
