    This brings back memories. I’d turn on my big ass HP with my foot and its bright blue LED power button would light up the room.

      Blue?

      Look at Mr fancy pants over here with blue power indicators on their childhood computer.

      Most of us made due with red, or if you were lucky, green.

        Yellow was also an option

        Yellow LEDs annoy me. Our traffic lights used to be red, amber, and green. Now they’re LED amber lights have been replaced with yellow

        All HP desktops that competed with Dell Dimensions in 2003 had a big blue led button. It was a common trope to put blue leds on everything back then. It’s nothing special. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fc1.neweggimages.com%2Fproductimage%2Fnb640%2F83-102-233-01.jpg&f=1&ipt=4deaeb006298186c0cbf8cf25ce53b9e20547c1faaa11aead6ee846a03363867

          When I was a kid, first using computers in the mid 1980s, blue LEDs were considered to be impossible to make.

          So my basic bitch IBM clone only had red indicator lights.

          The implication is that people who grew up with newer technology had stuff that was fancier than the stuff older generations had, which is objectively true.

          I’m sorry that you didn’t get the joke, and I’m sorry that I had to explain it to you.

          Good luck with life, seems like you’ll need it.
