Title: What's a computer?

I wanted to highlight the work of Photographer 'Docubyte' and his series of animated GIFs that answer the question "what is a computer?", in classic retro beige style. Thanks for watching!

:o Wow, there are some beautiful machines there, so much character and style. Not like today's machines which look so bland

Nice video, but the computers almost look like miniature models rather than the real thing.

Also (Pedantic mode):The Commodore Pet 2001 didn't have a chiclet keyboard although Wikipedia and many other sources says it does. A true chiclet keyboard is defined as a keyboard where the computer case/bezel seperates the keys from each other.
