[Rhodes22-list] How to reduce yourapparent stupidity(macintoshonly)

[Bill Effros]

No, it never appeared in the 1954 Popular Mechanics.  It's a photoshop 
job of, as I remember it, but haven't checked, a trade show mock up of a 
submarine with an old monitor thrown in--or something like that.

In any event, it never was in Popular Mechanics, it's a composite, and 
it was not a picture of a computer, or what it was thought a computer 
would look like.  The one you saw on the high school trip was what they 
looked like at that time--with high speed tape drives, and tapes that 
spilled off the reels.
