Yeah, when you turned them on they frequently had push buttons with satisfying resistance and a click.

As an object they had their own tactility, often solid and heavy (as opposed to the sort of articulated physicality of most modern monitors). You could often feel the static electricity across the glass.

They even had their own sounds. The hum of warming up, the whine and clunk of being turned off.

When we talk about nostalgia it’s often the sensations adjacent to the activity that we are talking about.
