I really wish my computer came complete with a steering wheel[/img]

:lol: :lol: :lol: thats funny, aah the good ol days.

Hahaaa....I love that big wheel....whats that, the mouse? :lol:

Did you get that from Warren Kinsella's site? He just posted that photo as part of a shot at Bush's BMD technology.

nope i found it a few months ago on another forum

Funny I just saw that at an IBM conference.

Funniest damn thing I've seen all day! :lol: :lol:

No silly, the mouse hadn't been invented yet. It's a feature that has since been incorporated into the mouse, however: the scroll wheel. :lol:

That is absolutely hilarious!

Isn't it funny how we perceive things? Weren't we supposed to be getting to and from work via flying saucers?

Cheers!

Ahh, ofcourse!

Well regardless, I would want too be in charge of the giant wheel...I think Id be good at it.

hahaha... thats hillarious... but looking at that picture, what exactly is that computer supposed to do? Really mind-boggling if you think about... 12 years ago when my neighbour got a 486 it was unbelievable... Wolf 3D??? Wow... and I thought that was the end... now we can play it on our cell-phones... anyone want to take a stab at PC's in 2054? I'm willing to bet it will make my breakfast and brew my beer...

Well, looking at that picture, I'm pretty sure it's a spoof. That caption sure wasn't written by a professional writer.

Pretty funny, though. Me, I still want that flying car they promised...

dont think its a spoof, i remember grade 11 electronics class and watching a video on the history of electronics etc.. .anyway im pretty sure that same computer was in the movie, and the size of capacitors,resistors etc were freakin huge back then..

i'm still looking forward to transporters.. go to the bar have a couple drinks transport to the ACC and watch the hip (without the 12 dollar beer!)

Well, I suspected it was fake based on the mangled grammar in the caption, the strange appearance of the console in front, and the bad retouching around the TV screen.

And five seconds with Google found this:

Yeah, I know. I'm no fun. :oops:

so what next your going to tell me there are no transporters??

but really i do remember them showing this huge ass computer that was pretty much a calculator and was the size of a wall..
