Fact #1: This was the first (and the only one) Computer with a Rainbow.

That is a merrit badge to be proud of.

Fact #2: The chiclet keyboard smelled like new for decades.

The keys are marked with BASIC commands: pressing "R" when in programming mode would insert the BASIC command RUN.

Do you know what is programming, children? Programming is Art by yourself.

Fact #3:16 kb.

Programming, database, word processor, spreadsheet, painting, 3D-modelling and astronomy software: All in 16 kb.

In other words: The infinite Universe in only 16 kb.

Computers are made for Art: If not, no.

Fact #4: Arkanoid is the physical evidence of extraterrestrial life.

If you played it once, you can understand me.

Fact #5: "-What's up with your new computer, son?." "-Great, dad. I just made a Schedule." "-Cool, son."

At the age of 14, I made my first BASIC program: a very very complex Schedule.

My scheduled list: "For the next 20 years: Love. Be loved. That's all"

Computers are made for Art: If not, no.
