What computers were expected to be like in 2004

I'd post up the picture but I can't work out how so here's the URL:

That would make an interesting challenge for minesweeper and solitaire.

What's with the boat-steering-wheel thing?

If this was going to be the computer of 2004.
I would have been working in a hotel, washing people's dishes, rather then even coming near this ugly machine

What's with the boat-steering-wheel thing?

Maybe its to allow you to open up the CPU and install some... upgrades?
Or to control water/temperature. heh.

Hey! That's pretty much what my computer looks like. Man, those guys were really on target.

It's a good thing they scraped those plans and fired the guy in the photo. Not because our computers would have been whacked out...but because we would never have had Kentucky Fried Chicken otherwise. ...The guy in the photo is actually a young Colonel Sanders Sans Beard, moustache, and bowtie. Seriously!

My computer has a steering wheel. I'm an active competitor in simulated online racing leagues.

Considering how fast IT technology developed for the past years, I think that's possible.
