Picotron (also by Lexaloffle) might be an even better match for those wanting a retro workstation as opposed to a retro game console. https://www.lexaloffle.com/picotron.php

Wait until you hear about September through December not being the 7th through 10th months of the year. They don’t even give you a sense for _when_ they are. Or, more accurately, t…
