That's like 50 years ago.........whoaaa!! Anyway, this is the caption under the photograph:

"Scientists from the RAND Corporation have created this model to illustrate how a "home computer" could look in the year 2004. However, the needed technology will not be economically feasible for the average home. Also, the scientists readily admit that the computer will require not yet invented technology to actually work, but 50 years from now scientific progress is expected to solve these problems. With teletype interface and the Fortran language, the computer will be easy to use."

What the heck is that steering wheel thingie? I sure am glad that Microsoft has made it so "easy" for us to use Sad
