I got an interesting comment on one of my YouTube videos. I had done one on Zip drives and was using an old Dell laptop. So it wasn't really about 80's retro gear, though I guess Zip drives are a bit dated.

Off-Topic: Thats a really cool keyboard, function keys on the left, shaped keys for your fingers. Where can I get one?
How can there be any new fashion or state of cool when every possible shape and colour has been done? Perhaps because everything is flat these days a bit of shape was a shock.
