    Blue?

    Look at Mr fancy pants over here with blue power indicators on their childhood computer.

    Most of us made due with red, or if you were lucky, green.

      All HP desktops that competed with Dell Dimensions in 2003 had a big blue led button. It was a common trope to put blue leds on everything back then. It’s nothing special. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fc1.neweggimages.com%2Fproductimage%2Fnb640%2F83-102-233-01.jpg&f=1&ipt=4deaeb006298186c0cbf8cf25ce53b9e20547c1faaa11aead6ee846a03363867

        When I was a kid, first using computers in the mid 1980s, blue LEDs were considered to be impossible to make.

        So my basic bitch IBM clone only had red indicator lights.

        The implication is that people who grew up with newer technology had stuff that was fancier than the stuff older generations had, which is objectively true.

        I’m sorry that you didn’t get the joke, and I’m sorry that I had to explain it to you.

        Good luck with life, seems like you’ll need it.
