How you DARE!

Monitor!
WHEELS!?!?!?

It is a *terminal*. A legendary VT420 from Digital Equipment Corporation, no less!
Digital Equipment Corporation was manufacturer of computers such as PDP or VAX, see Accomplishments.

And it is sitting on a MicroVAX 3300!
At 1988 this was THE computer to dream about. The fanciest machine you could ever dream about. This particular "little" machine has been singlehandedly controlling the operation in a steel factory for more than 10 years as a main control computer.

And please notice the logarithnic ruler (in English called properly the slide rule) cassualy sitting on the top. I can still use that analog computer.
