Here's an early model Commodore VIC-20 Computer that found it's way to the Wisconsin Computer Club. Not sure it works or not yet as of this writing. The early models placed a good chunk of the power supply onto the main board (under the black metal parts) rather than in the external power bricks Commodore employed later. While not super unusual, there are far fewer of these early machines left out there today.
I believe that this machine was repaired or retrofitted at some point- the yellowing on the case halves is very uneven as seen in photo 2. This indicates to me that at some point the original "foam and foil" keyboard died, and was swapped with a working keyboard from a much later VIC-20.

Christmas Future - Vic-20
"Are we listening to 'what if .hack did a Christmas album'?" - my wife
She's not wrong! But thankfully, Christmas Future is a more complex album than that. You know it's a good sign when halfway through a seven-track album, I find myself wishing it were twice as long!
These are mostly classic Christmas songs, but with real effort put into transforming them into a modern-but-retro synthwave sound. Too many such albums are basically just Christmas carols with a backbeat. Others have so heavily remixed and reworked those hymns and carols that they're no longer recognizable, or don't have a tone that feels at all appropriate for Christmas. Christmas Future dances between those traps, even while hitting all the different moods and tones that encompass the real complexity of our feelings about the holidays.
I'm personally fond of "Christmas Morning", but Crystal Rome's work on the most somber version of "Angels We Have Heard On High" is not to be missed. Still, give the whole thing a listen. If you want Christmas music you can unapologetically dance to, Christmas Future is exactly and delightfully that.

VIC-20 & William Shatner // The immediate predecessor to the famous Commodore 64, which sold over 1 million copies in the first 2-3 years after its release.
William Shatner was the "face" of the VIC-20 commercials (video and stills), probably shortly after the first Star Trek movie.
Still pictured is Michael Tomczyk, who played a huge role in the development and marketing of the machine.
