Same idea.

1968 Olivetti Valentine.

Interesting that 10 years on it was still recognized as being stylish, and now 60 years later, it’s eye-catching. Some things are timeless, to design something like that must give the artist an ever lasting high.

Or they could be using it as a joke. The man is writing a love letter. (Valentine - “I love you”)

(Also note they ended production in 1975).

MLMW #7, September 1978

Very nice. Okay, I just spoke with him because I didn’t want to give you the wrong information. The first machine was a Photon machine, it would have been the one built into a desk, the second machine was a CompuGraphic, now most of the machines you see online are just headliners, don’t ask me how that works, but there was more to it than just the desk and keyboard part. It would have been a large cabinet that accepted paper tape to go through the motions of setting everything up on the film. The last machine was a Xylogic, I can’t find any information on the machine, I can only get a tape controller card for a PDP 11.

That’s not just any pinball machine. That’s a Williams 1992 “Fish Tales”. Completing the joke that they are fishing.

Oh interesting, I didn’t know about Multics.

Eternally upset I missed the public access Multics installation that apparently existed a few years ago before blipping off the face of the internet... who wants to start a new one with me?

One of mine to add.
