young users showing off their "retro" PCs, like from mid 2000s

I always repond to them - "what retro? you call this retro? Windows xp pc?

"Retro" to me sounds like mechanical keyboards, monochrome monitors, floppy discs, and DOS.

But I could see Windows 97, low-resolution color monitors, and read-only CD-ROMs - as long as they still used a mechanical keyboards.

I think I got a CD burner in the very early 2000s and I was an early adopter.

My experience removing switches from vintage Apple keyboards was that they were soldered in like rock.
And compounding that problem was that the pins were bent over in addition to being soldered.
Clearly they did not expect that people would be making major repairs to them 3 decades on ....

yes that's exactly what I did
twice

not let's try to do the same with the .webp extension

what a moronic ****ing forum engine

I converted the image with ImageMagick. I dunno what file format you had uploaded.

Was it a "webp" file with the wrong file suffix perhaps? Some content delivery networks re-encode images to webp for smaller file size but don't change the filename. Whenever I want to save such an image, I use curl or wget instead — those programs don't tell the server that they support webp, and then they'd get served the original.

BTW. I clicked "Attachments and other options", "Choose file" and then selected "Inline full-size image".

The reason I like retro computers is because they are ****ing cool

which is definitely not the case with Windows XP PC's.
