I had a few vintage computers set-up at my desk back in August of 2014. Eventually, I would fill the whole space with vintage computers.

That C64 setup looks really slick. My system back in the 80s wasn't even close to that refined.

It's so amazing looking. 2 disk drives, that was always the dream.

No way I would have been able to afford that back then.

Ooh, a C64, not one but two PS/1s and a Coleco Adam! That's a nice setup even back then.

Oh man, had one of those IBM PS/1's back in the day but it was bottom of the barrel spec and didn't have a hard drive and monochrome display. Still, very fond memories of it.

Didn't know they made a PS/1 to the lose specs. Mine had a whopping 30 megabyte drive when I got one in 1990

It was as barebones as one could get... no soundcard, monochrome, no HDD, only 1.44MB floppy. I think it didn't have that much RAM either.

Doesn't sound like a PS/1 , would like to see it

It was the Monochrome with 512K of RAM

Ah, never knew they made that low end model

No. Kevin Keller is a character that Archie comics artist & writer, Dan Parent, created for the series. I'm friends with Dan. Actually, he has made custom art for me, one of which was a birthday present featuring Archie using a Coleco ADAM Computer.
