a neon light computer;

after seeing the photo of 10mbyte computer it reminded me of a team of programmers I led in 1970. We had mini computers with 64 kilo bytes of memory. We wrote to operating system and applications to support 8+ users in assembler in re-entrant code. These minis were to be distributed around australia. Data storage was a 2mega byte removable disc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 3 boxen at work. Two Dell P3 600's and a G3 Mac. Hardly pushing the envelope but as the development server is a 16 processor Sun box the desktop is not really a problem. The Windows box is mainly used for testing in IE and Eclipse (which I only use as a CVS client) plus stuff like Winamp and GAIM. The Mac is only used for testing IE Mac stuff and we are dropping support for that sooner or later. They share a monitor using a dual input switch but as we dont have a USB KVM anywhere handy there are separate mice and keyboards including a god awful puck mouse.
The linux machine is where I do my work. VIM (or several VIM's), and Firefox + Thunderbird and quite often the GIMP are open constantly plus about 3 or 4 terminal windows to different locations on different servers.
Its not a bad office. I traded in a lack of view from the window (which is pretty good as it looks towards the posh end of Bath over the river) for no one being able to see my screens. Handy that at times.

The Amiga 500 was Commodore's best-selling model of Amiga.
The name "Amiga" is Spanish for "a female friend". Commodore wanted users to think of the computer as user-friendly, and indeed, the Amiga inspired a very ardent community of supporters that exist to this day.
Our new work-station, an iMac 17'' latest model, with 1GB of memory and a 250GB hard disk. Very cool!
Max Headroom was a futuristic computer-generated character on a popular British television series back in 1985. He became well known for his jerky techno-stuttering speech, wit, and puns. Now he's just a piece of discarded cardboard.
Epcot's Spaceship Earth.
"In the early years of computers, only governments and large corporations could afford them. And their binary language was known to only a handful of people. These large behemoths took up an enormous amount of space and required chilled rooms in which to operate".

I feel as if we're living on the fringe of an apocalypse. Ike's "afterbirth" (as I call it) stirred up a Category 1 hurricane through Cincinnati, an area that is about 700 miles from the nearest coast. 850,000 people are without power. 85mph winds knocked down trees, ripped off roofs and -- in an area that wouldn't imagine experiencing these types of winds -- mass chaos ensued. Gas stations closed. Grocery stores closed. School closed. Lines form in every store with power, and supplies of food and gas are running out.
The past 2 days I've had to work from our bathtub because its the only place in the house that I get a wireless signal (thanks to a neighbor who has a different internet provider). Thankfully, somehow, we still have electricity. I might go out there and see if I can't document some of it.
I saw this on Jon Hick’s flickr account. Very impressive and makes me want to get a mac even more. Who needs a pc anyway? It uses parallels to switch between the OS and is only $39 which is pretty good value in my opinion.
From Parallels website,”Parallels Desktop for Mac is an easy to use virtual machine which allows users to run Windows and other OSes in virtual containers directly on Mac OS X desktop. Use Windows applications without losing the functionality of your Mac - no rebooting required.”

This is not your grandma's computer. A 1.023 MHz processor with 128kb of RAM. 1-bit sound and a handsome 5.25 floppy drive, and another 5.25 external as a sidekick. It's playing SSI's "Computer Ambush", a tactical turn based strategy game that's squad vs. squad. You can buddy up with two people in front of this 9 inch screen or play the computer at your own leisure. It actually takes some really good reading to figure this game out as you don't necessarily see your enemies. It's a line of sight scenario, you never know where the enemies might pop up!
I'm a goof, computers always fascinate me. About the only one I'm not interested in is a branded Windows box. I love building new ones from New Egg though.
And you gotta love the green monochrome display or you have no heart!
This is my interpretation of the ultimate MidCentury Modern Workspace. 50 plus year old designs that still looks timeless yet modern and contemporary. Dieter Rams would say "Less is More." Don Draper would say, "Make it simple, but make it significant." Yes, it is expensive but it will outlive and outlast any computers I have or will have for the next 40 years. This is a "luxury desk set-up."
George Nelson Swag Leg Desk design by Charles Pollock for Nelson Associates in 1958.
Eames Soft Pad Management Aluminum Group Chair designed in 1969 by the legendary design masters, Charles and Ray Eames. Both manufactured by Herman Miller. Artemide Tolomeo Lamp. Designed by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina for Artemide. 1987. The design classics. All featured and on displays at various Museums of Modern Art like NY MoMA. George Nelson Bench for storage. Everything pictured are authentic, licensed pieces.
BTW, people have been wondering. Yes, you can fit a 27" iMac on a George Nelson Swag Desk. As long as it is under 25 lbs.
I'm pretty much complete except I might swap out the Tolomeo Lamp for an AJ (Arne Jacobsen) Desk Lamp.
