There was a video I saw a while back of one of these connecting to Google. It took a while but when it loaded it was surreal like wow, this old technology works today.
Also if you like this stuff there's popular channels out there like Adrian's Digital basement or 8bit guy, etc...
Side note: the movie Jobs (2013) was dramatized and all that but it had a cool scene, when those circuits drew something on a screen. I am aware of Xerox Alto and all that. But still the concept of making something so new... idk that's cool would like to be part of that. Also those chips seem more tangible than an i7 or something. You could almost mentally map which chip goes to what part of the screen.
I will say I'm past it though, I don't really covet old tech just because of performance. I do to some degree like old Chromebooks using Linux.
