OT Home Computer 2004

WOW! That looks just like mine, except that my printer is bigger, and I don't have a steering wheel.

That steering wheel is the new thing to replace your mouse!

wonder what the laptop would look like?

What on Earth would a user want to do with a "home" computer programmed in FORTRAN?

Kind of reminds you of the old sci-fi movies like Young Frankenstein. And the purpose of the steering wheel is what?? So you can drive while looking over your shoulder at the monitor on the wall?

No, now think a minute. Everything back then was linear, no sideways available!

No No No Wayne it is an early scroll wheel. The large one is up and down the smaller one is side to side.

What's funnier is that in the fark.com forum that originated this and other hotos, the rendering artist got special recognition for being noted by snopes.com as a new urban legend. Now that's an achievement!

Again, here's a link to the photo's origin. Some good stuff. I'm especially fond of the one featuring keyboardist Keith Emerson.
