Interesting Facts

CRT monitors like the one in the image were the standard for personal computers from the 1970s to the early 2000s, using cathode-ray tubes to display images (0.5 m / 1.6 ft deep).

The floppy disk, visible in the setup, originally stored 80 KB of data on 8-inch disks in the 1970s, evolving to 1.44 MB on 3.5-inch disks by the 1990s.

Bookshelves like the one depicted were common in home offices, especially during the 1980s and 1990s, when home computing became more popular and personal libraries expanded.
