Does anyone else remember the HP Pavilions in the early to mid-90s with a built in photo scanner in the tower?

Better yet, do you remember a model number so I can find a pic online to show my friends I'm not crazy? I distinctly remember these and can't my google-fu is failing me, nothing but new stuff pops up.
They were your typical HP tower back in the day but had a literal 4x6 photo scanner built in right where the CD-Rom and Floppy drive were.

I realize this post is super old, but I had one of these computers and was searching online so I could tell my friend about it and came across this post instead.
Here's a photo of my bedroom in the '90s with said HP Pavilion with the photo scanner:

That’s such a cool photo! I had one of these, model 7130P if anyone still is wondering. Did yours have the graphical skin, overlay, I don’t really know what it would be called, but it’d talk to you if you hover over each category. Productivity, kids page, etc? What it’d give to hear that again! And I can’t find reference to it anywhere.

I know what you're talking about and can still sort of visualize it from dim memories. But I can't for the life of me remember what it was called or find an example picture either.

Ah, I don't remember the graphical skin overlay feature, so I’m not sure if it had it and/or if I just never enabled it.

Ok, thanks! I’ll keep searching!

welp, i found myself here for the same reason, but i can't find a picture anywhere and the twitter link says the account limits who can see the media... maybe someday someone will find this post again with a pic to offer up (or if i do, i'll upload one to imgur).
