Little details there:

- those O's around the original name of my machine are ventilation holes
  (cool name, @elcheapo, you may use it if you want to, I didn't =)

- above it are led's behind dark mask, and the reset is to the right.
  And the big round one is the complementer of the master-I/O-bit.

- monitor is old Forefront, some may recognize it

- keyboard was -ugh- so hard, and now it looks like Commodore 4+'s one
  (if somebody still remembers that machine =)

- no, the mouse isn't PS/2's old clumsy one, in fact it's three-button
  one. I just banged my head to the 76-chars-limit of my editor and got tired.

- and no, the picture in the monitor isn't a reflected image of me ...

[drawing snipped - bandwidth is a terrible thing to waste]

Are you kidding?  I used to own one of those cheap things.  Fitting that 
the computer you drew should be named El-Cheapo and have a C= +4's 
keyboard.  Mine worked for exactly 2 months before it up and died on us, 
and the store gave us a shiney new C= 128 in it's stead.

>- and no, the picture in the monitor isn't a reflected image of me ...

Actually, it reminds me of the smiley face from the computer image in the 
old Print Shop program.. the one I ran on my C= 128 :)

All in all a very good drawing though, I was impressed at this from 
someone who claims this to be his first attempt.  You've a lot of 
potential :)
