In this case I wanted to create an homage to the Sirius 1 aka Victor 9000.
When I was a teenager I supplemented my pocket money by working in a small
company that automated industrial production facilities, high rack warehouses etc.
For that we were using industrial controllers and other fancy equipment.
So far I had only experience with (then popular) home computers like my
Commodore VIC 20 (VC 20 in Germany), Apple II etc.
In that company I saw my first PC (compatible). Also, I got a chance to work
at the Sirius 1. This had an impressive high resolution screen, even though
monochrome, no colors. It could even play audio samples. Screen brightness
and audio loudness could be controlled from the keyboard. It would take another
decade or so until the advent of multimedia keys on Windows PC keyboards.
Anyways, in this build I tried to recreate the look of a Sirius 1.
Don't the keys look just like candy?
