       @Gargron PCs sounded similar. Only a dial-in modem connecting is more beautiful, can be listened to still today in the fax machines.

       @Gargron I like this retro-computing stuff as much as the next nerd but back then nobody "took" it from us.We gave it enthusiastically.

       You used to be able to hear a computer do work. Hard drive noise meant it's busy reading or writing files, fan noise meant the CPU load is high. My modern MacBook is just silent 99% of the time. I had to put gauges into the menu bar so I could see how busy it is.
