Overheard a kid call a CRT monitor a 'vintage TV' and felt ancient
I was fixing a Dell OptiPlex at a thrift store in Portland last Tuesday, and a teenager pointed at the old CRT I had on the bench and asked if it was for VHS tapes. It hit me that these kids never had to degauss a screen or carry one of those 40-pound monsters up two flights of stairs for a LAN party. Funny part is, that monitor still works fine for retro gaming, but I mostly keep it around because the refresh rate on it was a beast for its time. Anyone else still hold onto old gear just for the memories, or is it just me?

You still LAN partying with that OptiPlex, or is it just decoration now?
