35 years ago, my dad chose an Intel 80386 over a typewriter – and sparked a lifelong obsession.
With 1 MB RAM, a 40 MB hard drive, and a color CRT monitor, I was completely hooked. Within weeks, I had figured out COM1 vs. LPT1 and was obsessively tweaking autoexec.bat and config.sys for expanded memory. While friends played on C64s and Ataris, this was my true beginning in tech.

Just remembered that I have this old Panasonic TV, that I've got from my friend, stored in my wardrobe. It still works, but makes this very high pitched sound. In the comments there will be a photo of its back cover removed.
(P.S. That one alt text had to be one of the longest I've seen on Fedi)
