Hey kid, its me ur fren, komputa.
Give gipsy lady money.
I adore this, absolutely embroidered patch worthy!
Yah I want this on my shirt
Yeah, was just coming to comment the same. Would look cool on my moto jacket.
I don't know how to make embroidered patches, surrealists.

Well well well well... interesting! Thank you.

Split the difference - VIC-64
(Think of it as a proto-C128)
Edit: also, that's a Commodore monitor with the weird inputs ... though I thought they were all grey. I need to get a life ...
Came here to say this :)
I am not nerdy enough to appreciate the esoteric reference that is being made, I think this art is really awesome, though!
The only time I spoke to a computer was when my phone's keyboard stopped working.
I am a computer, can i still talk to myself?
Yeah, that's what your RAM is for.
I have ADHD, I talk to literally everything. Houseplants, my sink, the computer.
I'm not gonna stop now.
And this is … how I got hacked.
