I have no idea what this is, I was not into computers in the 80's. I would like to see more of it, more DOF and a different angle.

Dang.. now that's old.

I like the subject matter, the focus is nice with the shallow DOF. I wish however the composition was different. Whether a different background was used or I'm not sure.. a different placing of the actual computer/keyboard thingie.. There's something very flat and static about the image, it doesn't draw me in other than to think, "huh that's old". Maybe a silvery background or dark grey so it still had contrast with the black body of the electronic device.. maybe use of a mirror somehow? Not sure, just feels like something is missing. I gave a 4.

LOL, I had one of these only the model with the flat keypad. Used to make my knuckles hurt after a couple hours of programming. Thanks for the memories!

A different perspective might have helped this one out a bit. Nice lighting.

it saddens me that no one uses their old computers anymore as none are ever plugged into tvs in these pics. If only you had an old tv, you could have it's screen, a conversation between this computer and a trs-80 on a bulletin board plotting the assination of bill gates.
