In 1969, Honeywell released the Kitchen Computer. It was designed for housewives to be able to store and retrieve recipes. Unfortunately, it had a terrible, unusable interface, and its price tag was a whopping $10,600 (in 1969 money!)
It appears that none of these were ever sold.
This is my design colleague Chris Jacobs' mint condition Lear Siegler ADM-3a terminal as it sits on a table his office in Culver City. An image of it can be seen embedded in the wikipedia entry for this classic computer. It's pretty awesome. Apparently, Steve Jobs based the first blueberry-colored iMacs on these.

Preparing young Queenslanders for life in the 1990s, we saw personal computers make their way into schools during the 80s with a strong focus on health, regional education and the arts by Queensland Education.
The photographic unit at the Premier’s Department, Office of State Affairs, captured a snapshot of various events, programmes and initiatives for school children throughout Queensland. This collection contains several arts, music and drama as well as students participating in computer usage.
In the early 1980s, several different computer manufacturers were vying for a foothold in the education market, Apple, Tandy, Atari, Sinclair, Amstrad, Microbee and many others. By 1985 Apple Macintosh was considered a standard system (alongside several others) for all states except Western Australia which adopted the BBC Model B and Microbee computer systems as a standard.

My old computer chair broke a wheel a couple of weeks ago and I finally got around to buying a new chair online through www.DealsDirect.com My favourite colour is red and when I saw this in their catalogue I couldn't resist. It arrived and we assembled it and it is so comfortable. Padded arms, thick upholstery and red. :)
Old computer desk and my M11x. Not my main gaming rig anymore, but a damn good little workhorse. Tablet for Netflix and games mostly.
Free extra cabinet from a project holds a bunch of spare tech things, secure handgun and knife storage, etc.
Plenty of space for moving between the rows of computers which is nice for having people work together or being able to help people out.
