You were supposed to be studying for your computer class, but got distracted by The Sims on your iMac G4 instead!

I think I had that book! Taught me how (ish) a cpu works, although I never really understood it before watching Ben Eaters videos.

I actually started reading through it while I was waiting for the lava lamp to heat up. It’s a pretty good book! I can’t reference the name of the book at the moment because it’s just out of reach for now, but I found it at the thrift store a while back. I love these computery-type books, especially the ones that go into absolutely absurd detail about how things work. I think this one has a publication of 1998, so doesn’t quite fit the time period I was going for in this one, but it was the closest thing I had to relevant text book-like material for the story of this photo.
