Funny, many of us can actually fly aircraft that do not have computers. Even fighter jets.

Not lots of modern aircraft. No computer, no fly with those.

If it’s the flight data recorder or similar, it is internationally illegal to fly an aircraft so equipped without a functioning one these days, as I understand it.
Should also be mentioned that with a lot of recent airliner refits with glass cockpits, no computer = you’re not going anywhere.
