Yes kids, this is how we did the computer thing back in the 90's. Long gone were those lame old 5.75" floppies, we were using the much sleeker 3.5". And we were dealing with MEGABYTES of data. Sierra Games ruled the roost and there was this new thing called the internet (I don't think much came of it). For those that remember back then this MOC by powerpig should be a whole lotta nostalgia (and really slow boot times).
Builder dvdliu has an interesting thought experiment. What if xenomorphs (the aliens in the Alien movies) developed developed a civilized and "normal" lifestyle? Well, here's a peek at what that might look like, and it's sort of dreary. Yes, I wouldn't wish a desk job, especially wearing a tie, on anyone...or anything.
I remember considering being an architect when I was young. I've always been interested in drawing and the nuts and bolts of how things come together, but I think it was because Mr. Brady had such a sweet home office (yeah, that Mr. Brady). This build by Anthony SÉJOURNÉ is exceptionally clean and tidy, makes me want to draft something.
What a time it must have been in the late 1800's and early 1900's, a fanciful new invention was coming out practically every month, opportunity was everywhere and craftsmen still made the furniture. The occupant of this study must have been fairly well to do, but had excellent taste. Builder Jared Chan shows us how vintage is done.
You kids with your multi-cores, iPhones and fancy color computers, you don't know the struggle. You haven't lived until you've installed a program from 15 floppy disks, or accidentally erased your new game by putting your headphones down on the tape, and don't get me started on modems...
A lovely bit of old school computing nostalgia from Powerpig
It's funny to me that I associate a classic workstation like this MOC by One More Brick to be part of another world I've managed to avoid all my adult life, corporate America. Overdressed professionals chained to desks entering data, chasing leads, trading stocks or any other of a million "business" type things. You know, that stuff us creative types scoff at. When in reality I spend most of my days sitting at a table not very different from this using my Mac. Yeah, totally different.
