So in my previous entry, I talked about a reported 1954 article from Popular Mechanics about the future of the home computer.

Turns out, as pointed out by my friend Fourth Breakfast, I was duped. It's a fake picture. See the referenced note about this picture at http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/computer.asp

I don't tend to fall for these too often, but every once in a while, it happens. And here I was thinking that big wheel was to open the beer fridge...

Still, I don't want one of those consoles in my house for the same reasons I wrote before!
