Look at Mr. Fancy with his own cubicle

I was in a company that was slowly downsizing.

I was in one of 6 rooms off a corridor, each room holding two desks (well, one room was storage). As people left, I was the only one left in those rooms, so I used to think of it as "my wing of the building".

You running Windows Vista on an HP desktop with a Zip drive in 2026?

Your company isn't taking you or your work seriously, so yeah you shouldn't either.

Nah, isn't that an older Compaq with a floppy?

[–] NaibofTabr 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I can't find a picture of that exact model, but to me it looks like it has the silver box HP logo like this one:

Compaq had this square Q logo, and usually the entire word "Compaq" also:

But there could be some confusion because HP acquired Compaq in 2002 and sold computers with Compaq branding until 2013, which covers the Vista period. It's entirely possible they sold the same desktop shell with both HP and Compaq branding.

And no thats definitely a Zip drive, not a 3.5" floppy:

The little round button on the right and the round inset under the slot give it away.

No, there's dozens of different floppy drive faces. I recognize their round eject button on the left. The thing on the right is the activity LED.

You're right it's during the messy HP/Compaq time when they held on to the brand. I remember them from my desktop support days. I thought it was an 8300 but that's wrong
