Pulled a vintage CNC controller from a scrap heap last month. The boot-up sequence was a nostalgia trip.

Heard a guy on a podcast describe the exact smell of ozone and warm electronics when those old controllers woke up. Said the screen would flicker to life with green phosphor text, scrolling through diagnostics that looked like something from a Cold War movie. It wasn't just about the machine, but the whole ritual of it, knowing every beep and delay. Makes you miss when technology had a physical presence, you know? Not like today's silent black boxes. That boot-up sequence was a performance in itself.
