RCR Episode 232: Period Peripherals

Panelists: Paul Hagstrom (hosting), Jack Nutting, and Carrington Vanston Topic: Period Peripherals When you use retro computers, do you also use retro peripherals? That is, do you stick with appropriately vintage keyboards, monitors, and mice? Does mixing and matching vintage computers with new peripherals ruin the experience or aesthetic? Or do the (supposed) benefits of modern keyboards and displays outweigh the heresy?
