My dad paid £100 for 64kb of RAM for some machine he had a long time ago LOL

sad part is we'll be laughing when we remember back to when we would pay 250 for a quad core, and we'll be paying like 250 for a dual octocore system in like 2-3 years...

This stuff^^ is way bigger difference then quad to octocore...


But the steering wheel is for all the NASCAR and Need for speed games that scientist knew were going to come out.

I'm not sure where that old black and white thing came from...but doesn't look like something that was made back then. Looks more like a fake than anything.

it doesn't even make sense as far as tech "mockups" go...but I would love to find out where it came from

the super imposed "old style" tv I guess was placed in the image to further authenticate that it is a vintage mockup...

ah...before I hit "post" I just did a search for:
Live Search: RAND corporation 2004 computer

and the thing that seems to pop up is "urban legend"

I have such a good eye Also, it helps to know that computers existed way back when, 1940's...so there's no reason for them to think the keyboards would be so huge, even then.

scientists are not as cheesy as some laymen would like to think them be...
