I first read this article in Wired a good long time ago and it is still a fun read, and badass to boot. The writer hops around different users of old computers with hardcore followings, like Amiga users and crazed Commodore hackers. Many of them used an ancient computer to do most or all of their work, and one group had found a way to hack web support into a C64-seriously!

I knew a couple of people who would use their old computers to do really crazily awesome things-even if they were mundane, like surfing the web or photoshopping, they were awesome when seen on a NeXt cube or old SGI system, and that sort of display of mega-geekery makes you tingle then this is your porn. Or maybe this. Or this.
