That red ESC key is really hideous, they should include a plain keycap to replace it.

I was particularly intrigued by the SWTPC PR-40 printer, I saw a demo for one at a local Homebrew Computer Club, probably around 1976. It was a unique thermal printer, because it used aluminized thermal paper. The printhead electrodes made contact with the metallized surface and ran a small electric charge through the paper to make the black marks. It is probably impossible to obtain that paper today (or any time in the last 30 years).

I don't understand why the enclosure is so tall. The two circuit boards don't need to be placed end to end, they could be stacked so the max height is the size of the CPU board. Also why is the enclosure such bright colors? I'd make it neutral grey or perhaps camo. The kit needs more options like battery power.

Don't know who owns the database? Lock it behind a password and you'll find out quickly. If nobody complains, delete it.

There is a famous old story about TWA, their corporate computer system was bogged down and needed a multi-million dollar upgrade. They did an analysis and the bulk of the data processing was printing huge reports, some of them a foot tall of folded computer paper. Someone had a bright idea, they announced that all the report printers were down, and no reports would be available until further notice. They waited for complaints, it turns out only 5% of the users called to demand urgent reports. The other 95% were just using the huge reports to sit on their desk to make themselves look important. That 95% was banned from future reports and the upgrade was no longer necessary.

Yeesh at least clean the ear wax and gunge off your AirPods before taking a pic. That's sickening.
