Something initially conceived by doodbarrowstone! The whole idea floats around the old Osborne Vixen computer (sadly famous to be the last Osborne product before the 1985 bankrupt, caused by a bad advertising timing. The term "Osborne effect" was born right from this). Apart from computer history... enjoy this cute 80s fox! She wants you!... (to buy that obsolete thing ;D)
firehazard did a similar thing a while ago, but featuring the Vixen by Commodore :D You can find it here! ^^

Loving your art, man! You're doing great, as always!
But... I'm dissapointed in you; 1980s? You are progressively becoming more modern by the second! You're SUPPOSED to be the retro nostalgia man... I have to stop watching you now because of this specific reason!
(Not really, I like you regardless of where you go with your art)

The CP/M operating system never looked so good! In my mind that gorgeous vixen straddling the Osborne is wearing nothing but punched paper tape!
About the computer in the pic, I have had the pleasure of seeing a working Osborne Vixen at the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest a couple of years ago! They are a very neat machine, and I hope to own one myself someday!
While I personally don't have any Osborne machines in my vintage computer collection, I do have one of Osborne's competitors for the early portable computer market. While the original "luggable" Osborne-1 computer weighed in at a hefty 24.5-lbs., only 6-months later in November of 1981 Seiko Epson Corporation came out with what many consider to be the world's first laptop: the 3.5-lb. Epson HX-20. Hailed as "the fourth revolution in computing" by BusinessWeek magazine, the HX-20 could run for an incredible 50-hours on a single charge of its internal Ni-Cd battery pack! Let's see your modern-day Apple or Samsung smartphone do that! It's an adorable little machine, and it even has a tiny little built-in thermal printer in it so that you could print out little hard-copies of your work! Cuter still, the HX-20 stored programs on little micro-cassette tapes that could be read and written to at 1300-BAUD and store 50KB of data per side! As for why I am able to recall all of this, my HX-20 was recently my exhibit at the most recent Vintage Computer Festival Midwest a few weeks ago, so all of this info is still fresh in my mind. These old machines are my passion!
Amazing artwork,
fox-pop! As you can tell, your artwork inspired me to take a trip down memory lane!
