Add a bazillion more cords to the side and male the top surfaces messier with stuff and I'd be asking where y'all got a picture of my desk about a week ago.

This is one of the better ones, actually.
I've seen a lot of pictures like this, and this one is comfortably at capacity. It was apparently popular for people to put way too much stuff on their desks. Multiple computers, multiple monitors, a TV, a stereo, This setup is actually pretty reasonable.
I kinda miss this era of computer desk. Nowadays you look at like LTT or whatever when they do a "battle station" build complete with furniture and accessories they tell you to get a flat table with T shaped legs.
Yo I have that same radio/CD player/tape deck
I went to a garage bar and they had an Aiwa with all the lights cycling through the demo mode. Classic!
Speak for yourself lol. I knew exactly how good I had it. So much so, that I refused to upgrade it until components started dying on me. First to go was my HP printer (surprise surprise). Last to go was that Microsoft exact mouse.
I still use a laserjet from 1997.
that mouse got me from ut99 through 2k5
Tell me you were raised upper middle class without telling me you were upper middle class..
My poor ass had a Walkman CD player that was half-broken when it was given to me and I carried that thing until 2006.
A couple middle aged techbros without kids that my dad knew were on this level, but nobody I knew had anything close. Most had either a good stereo or a computer. I didn't have both until 2010.
Is it weird that I get nostalgic for an experience I never had? (the experience being the above picture) I can see myself chilling on a Friday night playing Red Alert, listening to gangstas paradise and alannis morisettes "ironic" (in that order for the lols) and printing off the guidebook for super Mario 64.
I wouldn't call being nostalgic for that weird at all considering I am nostalgic for a lot of 90s cartoons and music and games despite it not being my time.
The tech sucked, but it was exciting. The Internet was young and had promise. Corporations hadn’t figured out how to extract value at scale.
Those desks sucked then just as much as today.
If your stereo had inputs and you had a 1/8” phono to RCA adapter cable from Radio Shack, you were fucking READY for Napster to come along
Brings back so many memories!
