My favorite computer case of all time is the one used for the Apple IIgs, so it's no surprise that I like the X16 design!

Cool video,@Perifractic !
It's interesting that crowfunding would be arranged on X16 site. I heard this way has financial advantages.
But services like Kickstarter show new products in recomendations of other users. Would this be a disadvantage for X16 to miss such recomendations?

We’ve thought about that naturally but that advantage comes for unknown brands. David has over a million subscribers so we feel publicity wouldn’t be an issue. [emoji106]?️ Perifractic, X16 Visual Designerhttp://youtube.com/perifractic

This video brought me here. Thank you for that (and the contents of the video as well, of course)!

I did actually take a look at WASD's keyboard, the Deluxe keyboard and was very much impressed. Perifractic, I was also jubilant regarding the guides. My BASIC isn't nearly what it used to be, and I sorely miss the old manuals.

I'll download the emulator and see how that goes. Thanks for that video ?

I've been hovering at the periphery for, well, since David's first wishful video. When I saw Adrian's prototype repair, I felt that this project was really going to come to fruition. Thanks for the hard work. I really like the lines of the design. Great Job, Perifractic!

This is awesome! It definitely screams 'modern' and 'retro' at the time! Thanks, Superifractic! (A portmanteau of 'super' and your username)
