Exactly. My only gripe with modern machines is how narrow their interface is, I wish they exposed more of their internals.
e.g., I'm too young to remember the Commodore computers, but it's my understanding that you could change the display colors and sprites by poking a memory address. I'm not advocating for specifically that, modern computers are connected to the Internet and it would be a security disaster, but that kind of interaction with the machine is something that's missing.
