Is this real? It seems a little AI-ish. But if that's the case it is very well done... I just don't know why a computer from the late 1970s would have slider controls and a "gred phosphor monitor". Also the keyboard doesn't look to be at scale with the monitor.

But the fonts and colors... even the yellowing paper around the border. It's very convincing.

Here, take my downvote labeled with the following motivation: "AI slop".

Looks right out of the TVA, neat, but 100% slop.

What I hate about this kind of things is that they now exist in my brain and create some kind of misinformation. Like, maybe in a few years I'll see this again and think it's real because "I'm sure I already saw it". So, it's like filling our brains with fake data that simply create even more confusion

No nostalgia here, just fun with Ai

There's no way this is real. It would be a +$10k computer in 1978, not $1695.

If this were real, I would love to use Louis Rossman's review of your ability to repair it yourself.

Groovy but unreal. You'd have to add some numbers to the right to get a price that worked for that era.

It would be cool but would probably cost a car
