I wouldn’t have thought that there were many people using computers who weren’t already familiar with audio CDs. While most portable players were top-loading, I remember the majority of home stereos having the slide-out tray. I would have thought anyone using computers at the time would also have been familiar with home stereo/hi-fi systems (even if they didn’t own one).
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoI agree. The cup-holder thing was a joke, not a real claim.
- Anthony-G 3y agoAh OK. I’ve come across some strange beliefs about computers and other technology so it’s not completely implausible. Poe's law strikes again.
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoHey, that's not to say that NOBODY believed this. Back in the day I was in a programming class with a bunch of non-tech people (at the Accenture training center). In those days you could impersonate anyone with the Novell networks' "net send" command, because you could enter the originating user ID by hand. So I would find out the number of one of my classmates' workstations and send a message from the admin: "Keyboard unbalanced. Please adjust." Sure enough, I look over and she's quizzically lifting her keyboard and tilting it around.
