Your comment fondly reminded me of my very first computer, which was a Sinclair ZX81.

Let's just say that it wasn't ideal for text processing.

About the same as this "steering console" doesn't look quite ideal for driving a fucking car.

I concur with your horrification.

And you just reminded me of my first computer. An Atari 400.

The 800 had real keys, but the 400 was just a membrane keyboard. Didn’t matter; we only used it to play video games anyway.

I can’t imagine having to type on that thing.
