One of the great things...
...about this forum.
Is that a number of the contributors are lonely, grumpy old people.
The upside of that, is they started using computers when they were in their beginnings.
PDP-8s and 11s, Data General, Control Data... Heathkit...
Before the Commodore 64, VIC-20, before Tandy TRS-80, Compucolor and the Apple ][ and that whole ‘second generation’ of computers that you may not have even heard of...
They worked with the bare chips, before C++ existed !
S-100 and that ilk, designing building their own hardware etc.
They’re good at answering questions and helping beginners, but they expect the beginner to think for themselves.
You can’t pick up 50 years of intuition and experience in a single post & thread.
On some topics YOU may know more than they do, but not many !
Enjoy the resource and use it freely, but don’t ‘abuse’ it.
