I know I'm five years behind with this model, but 2004 computers are still way newer a lot of the stuff where I work.  I think I'll ask my management to upgrade:

I sent this link to a few friends at work, who sent it to a few friends, and so on.  I just found out that an executive (above the level of my boss' boss' boss) liked it so much, he's included it in some security presentation in Washington DC today.  The same day I sent it just for fun!

Hope you find it funny too,
Steve

Man, that still looks smaller than the computer I'm using now, and that monitor is still bigger than mine!!!!   >:(   I bet that big wheel thingy would be great for playing NASCAR and other racing games on the computer, or if your into playing bus-driving or cruise-liner simulators!  Otherwise....what the heck would you use it for?   

smeacham:
The whole thing, including the wheel, is from a nuclear submarine's maneuvering room, with controls for power, electrical, and steam systems.

That's hilarious!  My modem is steam-powered though, so I want me one of those wheels.

Still waiting for flying cars, too.
