  • Enough is enough! The absurdity of having to create a new keyboard flex for an old calculator like the Compucorp 326 is a clear sign of our society’s utter neglect for preserving technology. Why should anyone have to deal with corroded flex cables when these vintage machines deserve better? It’s infuriating that we’ve allowed such a crucial part of our computing history to decay in silence. We need to demand better solutions for retro tech instead of slapping on band-aid fixes. The innovation we boast about should be directed towards preserving our past, not letting it rot away!
