I'd seen that one before; the dual steering wheels are still my favorite bit.

That's funny! Fortran?! The text suggests that Fortran is icing on the cake! :)

I'm sure glad computers have progressed further than that. I have two computers in the dining room. One for me, one for the wife. I couldn't imagine having to have two sets of steering wheels in the dining room! I wonder if the next invention is going to be wireless steering wheels? :drive2:

the pic is from a Fark.com photo shop contest.

its actually a helm from a sub, a tv and a guy from popular science and some other bits thrown in. a stretched dot matrix printer from a commodore 64....

the title of the contest was "create the next internet myth" this one worked perfectly. and was picked up the next day as fact.

Here's the first thread at fark that it made an appearance in.

:lmao: Looks like mission control. Anyone remember the line from Apollo 13? "We now have computers that fit in small rooms" or something like that...
