I did my share of coding on a Commodore 64 (have you seen that keyboard?) with a cassette tape as the only external storage, no debugger (just a very poor BASIC variant) and (of course) a mono CRT tv set as a monitor. No internet, of course, just a few books/magazines.

Kids these days... ;-)

I think the C64 had a fine keyboard? It's mostly a standard layout and a lot chunkier than the small Bluetooth keyboards that tend to cause wrist issues. I also began coding in the CRT days so idk why that would be a barrier, I guess you mean for resolution? My issues are ergonomic not functionality oriented.
