This obscure (to me, at least?) Hungarian microcomputer represents the correct ratio between the keyboard and the display.

@pmdj @mwichary @samburkhard the sewing machine one is the classical computer shape and we have strayed from God's light by not continuing that design

@xarph @pmdj @mwichary it’s a little weird but delightfully so. I like to imagine that you could put things in for wireless data transfer or for larger ones a little *succulent shelf*

@samburkhard @pmdj @mwichary There's a narrative here about computing starting with jacquard looms and thus computers are just extremely advanced sewing machines.

@mwichary @samburkhard I really like the design of the 52600. Sort of a softer version of those Wyse terminals every library had in the 90s.

@mwichary The VT-16… doesn’t seem too much of a stretch to see how the iMac G4 would be made. These are great examples, thanks for sharing.

@mwichary for those chasing the retro aesthetic this project repurposes an old super 8 viewer for a classy little terminal
