We unlearned so many things needed to live through the #ClimateCrisis -- "First World Problem" will get a hell of a new meaning.
Bad guys or not -- they surely DID know how to furnish a room with what we now call #retrohardware.

Don't procrastinate this away!
JOIN YOUR KIDS!
We know we are f*cked up. Yet, no reason to join the cultlike collective suicide.
When the UI is hardware and the room alternates between a David Lynch movie and a machine room, then it's UNIVAC.

If that isn't what we actually wanted to appear in 2020 then I don't
know!

HC85 and HC85+ (aka HC85 extended).
https://electrokits.ro/en/hc-88-hc90-hc91-hc91-hc2000-home-computer-systems-produced-on-ice/
https://retroit.ro/product/hc-85/
This seems to be the start of their home computing series of HC85,
HC88, HC90, HC91, HC91+ (HC128), HC2000, HC386.
HC85 is based on #ZXSpectrum. The manufacturer was ICE Felix.
The models seem to fluctuate in design as I find HC85, HC85+, HC88,
HC90 with sometimes similar or different cases.

Let me return to digging in unorthodox #vintagecomputing places.
Initially I tried Mongolia but couldn't find anything before the 90s.
While on that I found stuff from #Romania / #romanian #retrocomputing.
Starting at
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computing_in_Romania
- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Romanian_computers
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ZX_Spectrum_clones#Romanian
- https://retroit.ro/product-tag/calculator-romanesc/
I find hilarious cliché images regarding colors, setup and hair
styles. :-)
And once started, wow, I found lots of *gorgeous* machines, stay
tuned...
