I thought this was interesting:

O_o Mine doesn't look ANYTHING like that, althought i'm not sure what other's may look like.... hmmm

[Xisdence]

It does show how even with the best minds, knowone can really say what things are like in the future. You gota wonder what stuff we say will be like in 50 years, the adverage laptop yeh?? Nice posts btw Seeker

[pyrhho]

*sigh* dangit! Why doesn't my computer have that many gauges! and I want a big 'ol nautical steering wheel!!

[Haz]

Who can find the monitor? Is that a typewriter? Another fact: The first analog computer that filled about 2-3 rooms had the same computing power as one of those cards you get that tingle a little tune.

[Stalker]

Hey! How did you get a picture of my computer?

I wonder if the evil perverted man was free or cost extra.

You know what, you should be ashamed! There are some poor college students that I know would love to have a computer so you shouldn't complain! Nah, just kidding. That wouldn't fit throught the door of my dormitory. And it's ugly! I mean, look at the color scheme! -Amé

[Stalker]

Hm, too bad about this

[Sparky]

Haha! A submarine control panel thingy!

[theroguechemist]

I wish my computer had a steering wheel !

[Je33ica]

haha this reminds me of back to the future II when micheal j fox looks through a pawn shop/thrift store window and sees a computer... lol that was supposed to be in 2005 and we still use them! that reminds me about the hover boards! we get them next year w00t

[Xisdence]

hover boards, ohh shit that would be nice!!! wonder what else is in store, personally id like to invent some metabolism thing, so you only have to eat 1/4 as much or something

[nightowl]

haha..what the hell? a steering wheel?

Hoverboards....can't wait

[Damascus]

go to stalkers link, it says the whole thing is a mockup. But computers really did look like that 50 years ago. minus the steering wheel.

[Amethyst Star]

Bravo, Stalker! But still, the picture's funny And personally, I like to eat, so something that would allow me to eat as much or more and have a higher metabolism would be nice! -Amé

Why is everyone so surprised? My comp looks exactly like that. It's so convenient having all your electricity, gas, and water temperature meters right there, along with about 50 kinds of thermometers and compasses. It's a bit of a strain on the neck to have to look up at the little screen though.

[Taosaur]

You guys are so clueless. That wheel opens a valve to vent coolant for the integrated atomic pile, the only power source strong enough to allow a flummoxing forty-three operations per second the awesome might of SCIENCE

[Seeker]

You could be onto something there. That old computer was based on tubes. That means tons of heat. The wheel could manage the cooling system....

[Arcadia]

is this true =) we get hoverboards next year? or is it just a joke ok point and laugh now ill set myself up for a kick in the arse.

[Haz]

I'm the captain of this computer!! Were going at 3 knots trough cybersea cap'n!!
