Computer Geek circa 1984

Dorm Room Panorama from 1984

What a geek!

random stuff to notice:

actually there are 2 computers and 3 floppy drives. The Commodore 64 with 64k of ram and a 160k drive and the Atari 800 with 48k of ram and 2 floppy drives. The original *standard* one, an Atari 420 Disk Drive with 88k discs and a 3rd party "double density" drive that could store 176k per disk.

Gees, my current digital camera's pictures take 3−4meg each. That would mean storing just one picture from my camera would take around 21 double density floppies or 42 single density floppies!
