There's a Nobel Prize waiting for who can achieve the first "horse render"

Also missing the clip on screen filter, inkjet printer and one of those scanners you had to run over documents by hand like a squeegee.

Did you have one of those handheld scanners? I’ve never know anyone who actually had one.

Yup. It was like an oversized mouse with a scan bar and roller at the front. You had to roll it over your document at a constant slow speed or all you got was a murky blur. The computer guy must have seen us rubes coming in 1997

Dang! I thought they looked so cool in computer shopper magazine. And I’d already used a flatbed scanner at school!

My first job was writing code to integrate one of those into our labelling software. Ah, the good old days.

I want to know what it says about the pink horsey.

Those speakers would make a little putt-putt noise to give you notice you were getting a phone call in 10 seconds.

A Florida doctor told me 4 days ago he doesn’t trust computers and doesn’t use one.

I like the toothy grin on the monitor.

The internet needs to bring back that meme where the computer monitor has the same expression as the user.
