Because critical thinking is so important to a free mind, I thought I would add a little bit of a fun challenge to break up your weekend and divert you from the frustrations of our election process.
What can you tell me about this photo?

***What can you tell me about this photo?***
It’s out of focus.
Yes, it is it makes my eyes hurt even with using corrective lenses.
That it’s not the weekend?
Drop leaf table,chair isn’t worth much.
It’s done in shades of brown and there seems to be a faint reflection of a chair on the screen/monitor.
1. You don't understand the concept of vanities.
2. You have too much time on your hands.
3. You're drunk.
It’s a picture of a hunk of junk with a 5 1/4” floppy?
A photo in faux sepia tone.
Chair knob is casting a shadow on the wall.
Also, I think if you put trash in the large opening, carbon credits come out the smaller opening. Garbage in, garbage out so to speak.
The white balance is WAY off too.
It is the topic of an idiotic vanity thread.
The whatchamacallit is sitting on both a placemat and a napkin.
“What can you tell me about this photo?”
I’m going to take a guess that what this is, is some kind of Apple Macintosh computer, possibly from the early 1990’s.
The rectangular lower portion resembles the “box” that was used by the PowerMac 7100 (and a few other models).
The 7100, however didn’t contain an integrated monitor, and although Apple sold some “all-in-ones” around that period, the computer in the picture doesn’t look like any of them that I ever saw for sale in the United States. So perhaps this particular computer was only sold in foreign markets. Or perhaps it was an Apple prototype that never made it to production.
It could also be a “knockoff”, perhaps a PC. The floppy drive is evident, and to the right of the floppy is a tray-loading CD-ROM drive.

I am guilty of your second comment.
Where is reflection of photographer?
I think a design that ghastly could only have come from Compaq.
The computer is sitting on a piece of paper on a table with at least two chairs, one of which is to the left of the camera’s viewfinder. There were at least two lights turned on in the room when the picture was taken, both incandescant bulbs, the brighter and closer of which is above and to the right of the photographer. The computer appears to have a floppy drive and a tape drive... I’m not looking at the photo now, so I can’t remember anything else for sure.
Late 70’s TI?
It is ghastly. It reminds me of a Hyundai Sonata.
Too far off to the right to reflect in the screen. I don't know enough about lighting angles to know if he "should" make a shadow on the wall.
Maybe you've figured it out? The photographer is a vampire!!
That’s a tray cdrom on the right, and with the Caddy fender flare speakers, I’d say it’s probably from the early nineties, back when “multimedia computer” was this great, undefined thing.
13” screen, maybe 14”, probably 800x600.
Still life in sepia. It truly speaks to me.
The real challenge is to figure out why I went to work today, if it's still the weekend.
Right, it’s the one that 90s parents felt they needed to get for the kids so they could put in the Encyclopedia Britanica CD, click on the rainforest frog and hear it croak (or whatever). That happened exactly two times in the first week they owned it. After that the computer was used mostly for AOL instant messaging. It now sits in a thrift store with a $15 price tag where it’s sat since 2002.
It looks that way , but no. It’s just the pattern of that towel.
It says ‘Presario 4402’ when you look close.
It’s not a computer. It’s a cake.
Is this the computer Lincoln used to compose the Gettysburg Address?
If you got the phote from Ebay, don’t even bother putting in a bid on this hunk of junk.
I think you nailed it!
It says it’s a 4402.
But it’s not delicious. LOL
Nice touch with the 8-track slot (complete with K-Tel cartridge inserted).
So...it’s late.
What’s “the answer”?
My post was rigged so only a Mensa candidate could decipher it.
Congratulations!
