Computer Video Games (January 1991)

Computer + Video Games, published in the U.K., was perhaps the longest running video games magazine. It was published from the early 1980s until well into the 2000s. The January 1991 issue includes:

Vintage Photos - Lot 6 (113-116)

I believe that most of the photos in this set were taken in the Fall of 1980 and were all likely taken in Michigan.

Digital Archaeology: Dell Inspiron E1705

The Inspiron line has long been Dell's main consumer laptop models (well, until very recently when they for some reason started naming all their machines very generically). The Inspiron E1705 was released in the 2005 timeframe. It is for all practical purposes identical to the Inspiron 9400. They just had different default configuration options and were targeted at different markets. It is also substantially the same as the M90 and XPS models of the same time period, again, with different default configuration options. I made a post about the 9400 a while back and a lot of this will sound the same because they are basically the same machine with some configuration differences.
