My entry for the #RetroFair2020 due to the cancelled Vintage Computer Festival Pacific Northwest. Just a quick presentation about my personal reasons for why the Amstrad CPC 6128 is my favorite retro computer.

I suspect this should be particularly interesting to people outside of Europe since the Amstrad CPC had very little presence there. I hope it provides a good introduction and makes you want to learn more about it.
