have you seen *this* keyboard before? probably not. but let's zoom out first... 
ooh this is interesting
it's... built into a desk! but the "display" is a tractor feed printer!
in fact there's a small display placed next to the printer. it's only 20 lines but it's a cute CRT.
this is the IBM System 32, a midrange computer introduced in the mid 1970s.
what's behind this door?
it's the 8" floppy drive!
above it is the machine's CE (customer engineer) console.
open the front of the machine, and the logic boards swing out of the way, revealing...
the hard drive! it's 13.4 megabytes, and it's so large it requires a 3/4 horsepower motor to spin the platters.
