It was great to pull this back out. Thanks for voting and the comments. It does still boot, the commodore does not connect to a modern monitor and the TV was too big. Two things I would fix is the title and the shadows on the keyboard.

Wow. Very cool to see one of these still in action. Is that a real screen? Or a poster or something in the background?

Your Commodore still boots? Wow! I kinda miss my Vic 20.

Liked the composition. While I believe everything done by humans can be improved, I know that sometimes I can't figure out what it is; I have no constructive criticism.
