The Sharp TRP801 (1960)
A portable television, in a very 'space age' case: the top is ivory but the sides and frontispiece are cherry red. Twin antenna sprout from the back, a silver tilted carry handle sprouts from the top, and a huge silver grille allows both airflow and speaker. There are a bare minimum of controls on the top of the device itself: an on/off push toggle, a silver tuning dial, a rotary display behind a glass window for current station, and recessed plastic wheels for h-hold, v-hold, brightness, and volume.

The Sharp Rateca Puter (1979)
The Sharp Rateca Puter. Up top, left to right: a collapsable TV/radio antenna, brightness and contrast dials, a giant speaker, a smaller speaker, and input for the tapedeck, with the play counters that were more common on the day. Face, left to right: A 4.5 inch CRT (behind a plastic guard), VHF/UHF and radio dials, channel and band selectors (TV/COMP, FM, Shortwave, and Middlewave), the "RATECA PUTER' logo on the battery gauge, AFC switch, mode selector, tape deck controls, audio controls for balance, bass, treble, and volume, and a mollyguard to prevent dials and switches from being mashed (the mollyguard being a signature of Sharp's boomboxes of the time). Face, low: the collapsable carrying handle that doubles as a stand; computer power button; slide-out chiclet keyboard based on Sharp calculators of the day, with number pad; an LED clock, clock controls, alarm controls. Right side: mic jacks, earphone jacks in two different sizes, beat cut switch, fan exhaust, DC and AC power plugs, and a printer port (!). Help I'm trapped in an alt text factory

In October 2022, the Windows Twitter account posted a *terrifying* Halloween-themed recreation of Windows XP’s (2001) famous default wallpaper, Bliss. 🪦 This was one of a few occasions when Microsoft has recreated the famous photograph, originally taken by Charles O’Rear. 🖼️

There's something about the red ones.
A three-component computer setup, all in the matte red that made Sharp's comptuers distrinct. Top left, a remote, with volume, chancel changers, keypad, trackpad, mouse buttons, and function buttons; there's a battery hatch at the bottom. Top right, a slimline vertical tower with a round base, labeled 'INTERNET AQUOS'; there are media control buttons, a power button, a vertical DVD hatch, and a power light. Bottom, a slimline PC keybaord; the full set of usual IBM keys is present, but the case is scrunched to fit the arrow keys between the tenkey and the keyboard, and the usual navigation keys are presented in a slim strip, in order to fit in one last column of multimedia keys and a two-button trackpad on the right hand side.

Tulip Universa (1995) (Source.)
A white PC, taking design cues from the classic Macintosh; the CRT and main computer are in the same body, with the "Tulip" logo prominent; the computer has a floppy, a 4x CD drive, and detached keyboard and mouse. The mousepad features the Tulip mascots, an unshaven guy with a big nose and a mouse with a not quite as big nose, waving at the user.
