I recalled the time I saw this saying on a bumper sticker back in the late 1970s...Thus I was inspired to throw this together.

I like the way you designed that computer!

Thank you.

It's the way NASA computers were depicted on TV shows during the late 1950s to mid 1960s.

Here is a link to a depiction of a computer in a 1957 si-fi movie;

That's an interesting film.

It was the first si-fi scare movie I've ever seen in my lifetime.  
I saw it as a three year old rerun on TV after we moved to the U.S.
That was in early 1960 not long before I turned age 6.

Yeah, well some big mindless machine that goes around destroying everything can be.

Cool.
Here is one video in a series about the IBM 1401 from 1959:

Looks to be a slightly later generation of computer than the one I have depicted, but still old as the dinosaurs.

Always make sure that you push down hard with the palm of your hand across the copper blades of the knife switch when electrocuting someone by shoving them against the grounded metal cage around the high-voltage equipment!

As for the computer, people in this era probably could not get a scrap computer to use for a prop, actual computers being very rare, so they just put together whatever electrical junk they could find and called it a computer.

Computers, been around as we know them since the 1940s and giving us nothing but headaches since!

This is what a computer looked like when I first asked my father "what's a computer"?

And here I am, learning Python.

It's come a long way since then.

Indeed.
I think I won't screw up royally, since I'm just learning Python to write hentai visual novels.

I've been getting a pop-up error message that has the option to click okay and apparently doesn't respond to clicking okay. People often say they won't take no for an answer, but it takes a computer to not take yes for an answer!

And it requires a certain computer to miscount and fuck up the world like it is now....

That might be some of those shenanigans from Microsoft doing that...LOL.
