Modern Retro computing

They have Amiga 1000, Atari 2600, and also NES systems, with lots of options for configuration. If they only made a Sinclair ZX81 with the same specs, I'd be sold!" I mean, who wouldn't want a PC in an NES box ;)

    Likewise, I miss those big-ass keyboards that click when you type. These flimsy, wussy keyboards that come with modern PCs are terrible! My favorite keyboard was an old IBM AT keyboard from 1984.

    Well, to be honest, such keyboards are still sold as new (I doubt they are still manifactured, but there are plenty in stock). You can also order replacement parts there (after all, it's the ex-keyboard division of IBM and Lexmark).
