Cool, I wish mine looked like that. I don't know why you need the steering wheel though.

You making fun of my computer? :P Geez, if they where that size I dont know what I would do, i could not even get it to fit into my dorm-room...

but can you imagine if someone went back in time, and showed them a lap-top? . The comps back then took up what.. rooms right? and could really only do simple math. Show them a laptop and break out ureal tournement 2004, or show them programs like MathCad, and excel, all in this little box the size of a notebook.

I like the 1950's black and white TV hung up on the wall for the monitor.

That steering wheel would be cool for driving games. I dunno if that computer could handle Gta 3 or vice city though. lol

Nice photochop. The junk in the background does not look like a computer and the console device ( printer ) is from the 70's.

I was reading an energy book from the 60s that declared by 2000 we would no longer be using fossil fuels.

ok, i'm a computer technician, i wouldn't even know where to begin to fix that old beast if it broke down, also, i live in a small home and something like that wouldn't even fit in my living room, but it makes you think of how much they did dream back then, heck they thought we'd be govering around by now.
