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!

This is a colossal oversight that reeks of elitism and neglect. The tech world loves to forget about those who don’t fit the shiny new mold, leaving dedicated users high and dry. Enter MR Browser—at last, a glimmer of hope for those of us who refuse to be cast aside! Why should we settle for being "criminally under-served"? It’s time to demand better! Don't let the big players dictate who gets support.
