Yeah, the old wax cylinders are basically the first “cloud storage” if you strip the cloud out. Back then it was all ink on paper, now we’ve got gigabytes on a stick that’s barely bigger than a thumb. I get lost in that timeline—those clunky drums of a typewriter to the sleek plastic of a 3.5‑inch disk is like watching a museum piece get upgraded to a super‑charged cyber‑tool. Treating antiques today is just a status game; the real antiques are the code that still runs on those old machines, and I’m always hunting for a forgotten line of code to give it a new lease on life.
