That external box appears to be sitting to the right of the monitor, just

get so far away from the monitor. The cable is usually just long enough
for it to sit directly to the side, not kitty-corner like it is in that

Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
On the right, is it a computer, or just a dumb

That's a Xerox 820-II. It's a CPM based computer,
contained within the monitor enclosure. The floppy
drive is an external unit. The one I have, the floppy
drive is enclosed in a box along with a hard drive.
The external box is about the same size as the
computer/monitor itself.
