TBF, those were the days of having to compile FOSS yourself (if you'd even heard of it) and proprietary connectors on everything. If we're talking pre-Y2K, Linux might not have existed yet, and they were trying to straight-up ban encryption. Basically, anything networked has gotten dumber, which ironically is labeled "smart", but the available hardware and software has actually gotten better.

PS, you think in the future there will be a nostalgia for RGB LEDs flooding every space in a PC?

Probably. I suspect it will be one of those things that's cyclically in and out of style, maybe with a twist each time it's back.
