Rare early 1980s product display photographs
Today's product holders have it easy. Computers were 10 times heavier in the 1980s, leading to rampant drug abuse from the Eastern Bloc holders and numerous injuries. Just look at the suspiciously wide jaws on this lot.
"I found these gems in a book titled 'Computers for Everybody'. Clearly a pioneer of 'holders', this industry icon demonstrates both poise and grace while lifting a 30kg box. No cleavage or leg required here. Pure class! - Johnny."
Nowadays, the only people with monitors that small in the workplace are the immigrant cleaners.
Are they encouraging incest here?
Not much use if you can't use it to watch porn on when you arrive at the Holiday Inn, is it?

The last picture is Obi-Wan Kenobi (circa Phantom Bollocks) travelling incognito. He's on his way to a condiments conference in Bristol. The Sauce will be with him.
Arf
Rare? I think they're overdone!
Arf arf
The Apple II is about to fall of the bed and drag the monitor with it causing it explode in a shower of sparks and set the flammable 80s bedding alight killing the family. Does anyone know if they survived?
Lol. Ewan McGregor in the last pic has just typed out 80085. You can tell by the smirk. But he tries 71077345 next :)
Arrrgh! What's that freak doing at the desk?! As my Old man and my computing teacher drummed into me: DO NOT LEAVE FLOPPIES LYING ABOUT WITHOUT THEIR SLIP WALLETS! DUST WILL RUIN THEM! Although knowing the way we made non-degradable stuff in the eighties, there are probably floppies you could pull out of land fills that would still read today!
And that's another thing, while I'm on a rant and this will really show my age, when I was at school we studied COMPUTING, went to COMPUTER classes and practiced to become PROGRAMMERS. Not trained to be poxy DEVELOPERS in the fecking "IT industry"!
The DEC Rainbow had a left-handed keyboard?
You could watch ASCII porn or write 55318008 and look at it upside down for kicks.
.....check out the phantom DotMatrix with thte poor bloke hiding his erection with his K/B at his desk... Already the printer has distracted him enough with its drone to slowly begin decapitating him from the knee upwards with sheets of carefully stamped 90gsm plain paper.
Before he has the chance to laep up, he'll get caught by the well designed keyboard cable, fall down on his bleeding stump of a leg, and the printer will have it's day at last...with one fast form-feed the poor bastard will loose his head, his torso slupming on a sheet of paper which reads.
10 Kill
20 goto kill
They're still amoung us....
You mean:
20 goto 10.
Amateur.
