erm. that mouse is unusable there. it has no room to go, and the incline?
whoever designed it never used a computer
on brand for corporate drones
Not everyone who uses a computer uses a mouse. This user obviously has a terminal-centric workflow and drives his apps that way as well (if you haven’t done CAD with the keyboard you’re missing out).
The mouse is just there so the boss doesn’t ask annoying questions. And to right-click the desktop in case he needs a different

If one bolt slips and those arms fail, the user is looking at life as a quadriplegic
damn
The form factor of individual components is a little different but this is essentially what my work station looks like.
cool
…well I thought it was kinda fun.
Either perfect cable management or everything, including power, is wireless.
He’s also got two computers (a dual monitor setup was pretty implausible in 1995, BTW), but only one keyboard and mouse.
Edit: not sure if the downvote is because they don’t see the second computer sitting on the shelf at the top, or because they don’t think a dual-display setup was incredibly niche in 1995.
Graphics cards back then barely had enough RAM for one framebuffer, let alone any left over for actual computation on the image. You had to reduce the color bit depth if you wanted to use a higher resolution, because RAM was just that limited – and yet, you’re gonna double it to run two displays? Not likely! Even Matrox, the graphics card company that ended up in the niche of supporting multiple displays, didn’t introduce its first “DualHead” card until 1999.
If you were using two displays in 1995, you definitely had two graphics cards and, unless they were both PCI (which was high-end back then; a “normal” computer would’ve still had mostly ISA slots), you were doing some weird shit to configure them. You were also almost certainly a professional doing something like CAD or software development (running the program being developed on one screen and a debugger on the other).
wireless setup like that is insane
They moved us away from this to sell us cloud services
cloud is a lie. reject corporate cloud embrace self-hosted fog computing collective! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
