Computer World cover

Listening to the Kraftwerk's excellent Computer World album (1981), comes to my mind the mandatory question: what computer is that on the album cover?




A little research unveils that in fact it is not a computer, just a dumb Hazeltine 1500 terminal...



Good thing is that while researching, I found this webpage that details the computers seen on Stereolab videoclips (Miss Modular comes to my mind), something I always wanted to know...

Amongst others, appear the same Hazeltine 1500 terminal seen on the Kraftwerk cover, the Apple ][e, and the Osborne 1.
