That TRS-80 configuration looks a lot like my own setup in the late 70’s and early 80’s although I had an Epson MX80 printer. Those were the days!!
Low-Charge-8554@reddit
Looks like your entire decor is stuck in the 60s.

You're right. I didn't notice this was from a 1 day old account.

That printer though. *chef’s kiss*

People always talk about washing-machine-sized disk drives, but they rarely mention the coffee-table-sized home printers.
sarajevo81@reddit
That is not a home printer because it has wide carriage.
robot_ankles@reddit
Oops, I thought that was someone's home. Offices looked wild back then!
NF6X@reddit
I think that's somebody's home, but narrower carriages were more common in home setups. I bet this setup was put together by somebody more interested in programming than word processing.

Needs a crochet doiliy on the CRT.
NF6X@reddit
You're not wrong, but I've always thought of the crochet doily as going under a telephone. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned?
