If you had to use a computer at your job in 1998 this would make perfect sense.

Yeah, there was an adjustment period after the introduction of the PC.Â
Everyone was used to rifling through inboxes and rolodexes.
With the advent of the office PC, many struggled to keep their favorite office tools relevant. This was a pretty typical scene in many offices — trying to rifle through digital file folders.
Ditto faxing confidential documents in privacy envelopes and monitors covered in red ink from proofreading annotations whose utility was highly context dependent.

Eve Astrid Andersson, worked a Ars Digita in Cambridge, MA around that time and was dating a photographer / computer scientist named Phil Greenspun. She is a director at Google now. The photo was some kind of inside joke. There are at least three others in the series plus one of her posing with the rifle. This is a very common repost.

That’s a Mac PowerPC (or clone) I think the one on the left is a Windows machine.
Bad trigger discipline.

You never knew what kind of viruses you could catch back then on those damned floppy drives. I’d bet dollars to donuts that 3.5″ floppy drive is hiding one of those IRQ bugs, and if you look REALLY closely, you notice that mouse is flat on the surface of the desk. That’s because the IRQ bugs ate its balls. IBM had an entire formally certified process for cleaning mouse balls back in the day.

Did you work a job at an office with computers in 1998? We wanted to point guns at the computers back then, too lol.
It was a…transitional time for offices and computing. There were some growing pains.

Looks like a Mac IIvx or PowerPC 7600, one of the few upgrade paths Apple offered for their systems. Played EverQuest on the vx without color textures, everything in gradient shades of greys and browns. After the upgrade the game played beautifully.
