[geeks] Computer parts calendar?

[Lionel Peterson]

When I said interesting, I was thinking of photos unlike you might see  
on eBay... I don't want to examine a chassis for scratches, but  
instead a photo of a Sun 2 with a period set of keyboard, mouse,  
monitor, all on and running a program/desktop would be very  
interesting (to me).

Interesting angles, close-ups of certain parts, etc. can also be  
interesting.

The issue would be to emphasise visual over technical - I'll be  
looking at it for a month!
