  • See, I remember that from friends (our first was a little later, a 286 IBM that was pretty loud).

    BUT, my nostalgia comes from the sound of a server room. I ran a BBS as a teen, and later randomly visited all the startup ISPs in the area before one brought me on as employee #3. We started with shelves of external modems before moving to one rack, but when we were bought and those few times I went to real server rooms (and times since) were great. The organization, level sound, raised floors, love it.

    Surprisingly I still prefer quiet for my homelab, though.

    Sometimes the visual example doesn’t work well when describing math. So an alternate:

    Pick a number 1 - 10. 8. Correct and accurate.

    Pick a number 1 - 10. 3.1415926535. Uhh, precise, but not accurate.

    Or:

    Accurate is drilling the hole in the middle. Precise is picking the exact right size drill bit.
