This is classic......I came upon it today and laughed my ass off.? Check out that steering wheel.....Imagine playing Need for Speed on that badboy. I think this is the new Dell PC!

Title: Re: What your home computer will look like in 2004. Post by: mrlee on February 08, 2007, 09:23:46 AM the fact the keyboard, is attached to paper like a type writer is classic.

Title: Re: What your home computer will look like in 2004. Post by: Bill 213 on February 08, 2007, 11:29:45 AM Haha imagine the procedure for starting that mofo up...you'd have to have like 3 associates there to crank and grind it. "Phinneaus, crank the electron modulator to 1.21 jigawats...Bartleby, phase the photon rotor-gurter and man the coal-powered cooling fan." It'd be for fun times definitely......and after all this that piece of crap probably did nothing more than what a simple calculator does for us now.

Post by: Doc Emmett Brown on February 08, 2007, 11:32:13 AM wow.....how wrong were they!!!!!....typical know it all scientists!!!!!!! *tut tut*... :hihi: you could flip it around, they achieved far more than their wildest dream, so that you could hop aboard the internet without having to steer that giant wheel. Imagine someone saying, "All Aboard! Next Port O' Call - HTGTH! All GNR passenger fans must exit!" Those old machines used valves and vacuum tubes, I guess the wheel was to control the pressure...not sure. Title: Re: What your home computer will look like in 2004. Post by: Bandita on February 08, 2007, 02:44:51 PM Hahaha, that's too funny. I remember complaining when Dell dropped 5 boxes on my doorstep and I had to put this thing together. Imagine how many boxes it would have taken to pack that thing up!
Title: Re: What your home computer will look like in 2004. Post by: Neemo on February 08, 2007, 02:49:42 PM at least you dont have to use a mouse anymore..i guess thats what the wheel is for...and i'm glad we went back to that scrolling paper again....the loose leaf sucks :hihi:
thanks for posting man :rofl: :beer: Title: Re: What your home computer will look like in 2004. Post by: Krispy Kreme on February 08, 2007, 11:39:26 PM Who let you into my house when I was gone, and how did my father get out of the mental hospital?
Title: Re: What your home computer will look like in 2004. Post by: Bill 213 on February 09, 2007, 01:22:01 AM Haha that guy looks like he would hang out with Colonel Sanders. Maybe this is the secret behind the Colonel's secret receipe.....this computer figured it out!
Title: Re: What your home computer will look like in 2004. Post by: kaasupoltin on February 09, 2007, 01:28:55 AM That's fuckin' hilarious :hihi: But I wonder if it's real.. I mean, if it's just an old photo taken somewhere hospital or plant or something and then someone just put the text. I don't care, I laughed my ass of anyway :rofl:

Title: Re: What your home computer will look like in 2004. Post by: Bill 213 on February 09, 2007, 03:11:15 AM I wouldn't call it so much as fake........just pretty much a concept model of what they were trying to acheive technology wise in the near future.

No, it's fake. Check out snopes.com The picture has something to do with submarine controls.....which explains the steering wheel. Title: Re: What your home computer will look like in 2004.

Right enough, it does look as though someone just pasted a picture of an old-tyme TV on the wall. Title: Re: What your home computer will look like in 2004. Post by: pilferk on February 09, 2007, 08:15:20 AM You do realize that computers won't change, looks wise, from what we have now, right?
The US govt has completely finished "deconstructing" all the technology they garnered from the Roswell crash at Area 51, and have now completley sold all the tech to the existing front companies, so we shouldn't see any changes in computer technology over the next 10 years or so...
