Trivia: for a while in the mid-to-late 1990s, a Google search for "computer
porn" had as the number one result one of my web pages, of that title,
containing images of computers with covers removed. I could see from the
server log that the search was fairly popular, but nevertheless I believe
that most of the people doing the search were not satisfied with the result.
