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  )

Actually, you use the same tool every day on your present PC's....
The inner wheel is the X axis and the smaller outer wheel is for the Y axis... used in order to plot specific positioning on your screen.
Today we call it a mouse.....
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
