       TIL that William Gibson had never used a computer when he wrote Neuromancer and when he finally got to afterwards he was super disappointed

       "he noted that the grinding noises made computers feel like "a little piece of a Victorian engine" and made them "less sexy," stripping away some of the mystique he had created in his fiction"what an idiot, the computers making noises makes them more sexy :neodog_woozy:

       @N33R True, i really miss the sound of old hard disks.I never really liked floppy disk sounds tho.But the spinning up sound of old CD drives was nice.

       @N33R Well, a lot of computers from ~2000 sound like a slightly quiet vacuum cleaner (so glad fans can typically still be easily changed when they're desktops, exception being the PowerMac G4 which of course needs like 1.5× more airflow than say noctua can give you).
