No, it’s third down on the left. Note the caption — would a mod lie to us?

My submission.*

Another round of congratulations for Jerry. Given his customer base (including me), I wouldn’t have his job for all the tea in China.

*I actually learned to “program” a later version of the machine on the left early in my training. It was done by using jumpers between holes in a punch board, and IIRC it took about a half hour to set it up to do a simple addition.

No, this is it, but we are getting the super-deluxe upgrade – any day now.

Say what you will, ANYTHING is better than the 1999’s style server

I think it’s more of a Mickey Mouse setup.

That’s the research desk. It’s on a different floor from the server room.

I think it’s this one. Check out the steering wheel!

That’s a gaming machine. Need For Speed

Actually isn’t that the machine for Need for Speed 2, since it has 2 steering wheels?

Actually, the SDMB has four or five of these working in tandem.

Scroll down to see all the workings.

We would have it by now, but they wouldn’t let our crack research team work on it during the flight.

If you’d followed Morpheus’s advice and taken the Red Pill, you’d know it’s more like this: http://www.cyberpunkreview.com/images/matrix02.jpg

No, no, no. Doesn’t anyone remember that we have upgraded to capybaras ?
My first photoshop (Gimp, actually) EVER!

Photoshop tennis anyone?

I hope I never get a Remote Hands ticket to work on any of the servers in this thread.

Chicken? :smiley:

I think Jerry is a handsome guy.

The steering wheels must be a primitive version of a mouse.

Wrong – this is Jerry.
