The cozy warmth of the CRT green screen monitor, and the soothing grind of the disk drive booting up. If all goes well you are rewarded with a reassuring C:\ .
We got our first computer in about 1986. A Tandy, it had an instruction book that said how to turn it on and how to write some programs for it. I constructed an autoexec.bat file for it. Very proud of myself. My tech skills have gone downhill since then.

My old computers. They all run well with Ubuntu. One is 14 years old.
I do have to dust them occasionally.
