Can you guess what it is? That’s right, calcium

What is water? It's a difficult question to answer, because water is impossible to describe. One may say the same of birds.

What are birds? We just don't know.

Yup! Next to Peter Serafinowicz. I think that’s Josie D’arby and Robert something (a comedy actor).

Write that down in your copybook now

I don't know the show, but I know that's an original Commodore PET computer with arguably the WORST keyboard in mass market computing history.

He's a close up of this "war crime" of an atrocity.

Note. Later versions of this computer came out with a more normal Qwerty keyboard.

Finally, a dedicated clubs button.

Is it bad that I want one of those? It is so weird!

[–] Rhaedas@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That is pretty horrible. But I recognize a few things the C-64 inherited that makes it not quite a monster. The graphical shapes on the keys, and the Run/Stop (without the companion Restore key). No British pound key though, that's surprising. What is horrible is the tape drive, I didn't know how bad that was until I finally got a disk drive.

Blister-key PCjr and the Timex-Sinclair 1000.

That's pretty rough in a lot of ways, but man would that make ASCII box-drawing easier.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it really does! This was the case with the grandchild of the Commodore Pet, the very popular Commodore 64. Check out all the extra characters on the SIDES of the keys:

So many ASCII sprites baked right into the hardware and OS.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

VIC20 too! That was my first, 64 next.

[–] maudefi@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Wow, yeah, decisions were made... that is technically a keyboard.

[–] turmacar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

So you're not a fan of ortho keyboards?

Is this streaming anywhere? I miss it so.

[–] sevenism@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

It's on BBC iplayer at the mo

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 6 points 2 years ago

There are a few partial episodes and clips on YouTube, but I've never been able to find the whole thing anywhere.

[–] floppy@rabbitea.rs 10 points 2 years ago

Available on BBC iPlayer in the UK. Very funny parody of educational TV shows. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00bt6f2

[–] IzzyData@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

I love this show. I have weird memories of watching it late at night long ago.

[–] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I always heard it as Machadaynu, but your interpretation makes me question everything I know about the music of the future.

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I concur with "Machadaynu". We are concurrent.

[–] christophski@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

You are definitely right, I haven't heard it in a while!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 2 years ago

This show was great to fall asleep to.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

Dude I forgot all about this show, time to get a-downloadin'

Sorry I'm late, I was paying a visit to Tlentifi Maarhaysu.
