“That’s a man, man.”
1983? What are they doing, playing pong? Maybe writing dirty posts on a bulletin board. By tomorrow night they might get a reply. THEN the action will get started…
“That’s a man, man.”
Which one?
Hey, try using the iPad when you are sick in bed! Its what it was made for I’m sure, I can just see Jobs recovering in hospital with a giant 17 MBP on his lap, when inspiration struck him…”there must be something…lighter…the MBA sucks…I’ve got it! A Tablet computer!”
A geek with a girl!?!?!?! In BED?!?!?!?!
Puleeze!
It’s Jobs and Gates, I think.
Hmmm, Well I AM reading this in bed using my netbook …
Bed Computing is Alive and Well!
Good to see SOMEONE who owned a Commodore-64 was getting laid!
I just wish I remembered more of my high school German.
The pics and text you see when you click on the magazine cover are truly bizarre. The Movie short “King Crab Attack” should of course be served with melted butter.
#7 AC- Yes, but who are you with?
Please refer to #5 Usagi.
Remember when? Uhhh, I’m reading this in bed!
#11 Mac – Please refer to #10
#8 honeyman
If you recognized it at first sight you’re over 40. An interest in computers in the late 70′s early eighties was like chick repellant. Ah the C64, what a machine!
#13 Amodedoma
Guilty as charged!
The C64 was upgrade from my Sinclair Spectrum 48k. Both great machines.
Those German computer babes sure are…handsome?
Must be an East German computer mag.
Oh Yeah 8 bit 16 color porn. The good old days.
I’m pretty sure this has taken off to some extent. There are many people that computer on the bed for their writing and “enjoyment” activities.
That’s JCD before he had Low-T!
lol….
#8, #13, #14…
“chick repellent” my arse…
heck, I wrote this cheesy psuedo-AI IF THEN ELSE statement program in BASIC on my Timex-Sinclair Z80 chip membrane “computer” that i “customized” for the girls in the neighborhood.. (i got the idea from the ELISA prgm..remember that?)
-a highly effective “chick magnet” when you program in the right responses…(i was 14-15 at the time) ;p
(honeyman, you were lucky..my Z80 only had 1k of RAM, and the 4k expansion module was $200, iirc. -it really sucked when you got near line 1000 of your prgm and got an “out of memory error”)
-did something similar with the P.E.T computer at school with similar outcomes.. poking and peeking on my C=64 and C=128 made it even more “colorful” -Viva la Sprites!
(i still have an old 1200 baud parallel port modem that plugs into C=64 in the pic.
if you were/are a geek and couldn’t get the girls..you simply had zero imagination imo..
(remember all the amazing ANSI graphics animated “porn” people used to draw at the time?)
(-and he who had the biggest Tagline File was king..) :S
-as for the Op’s pic…it’s a German magazine..and the Germans (unlike here in a America) are not brainwashed with sexual hangups like here in America. The only “hangup” in a German bedroom would perhaps be the handcuffs, whips and rubber face masks hanging on the rack in the corner.
-fun times indeed..
