It appears that “Charles” spent some time in the sunshine from a window (a real one).

Wait, I’m confused. What are those rectangles with words on the side on the shelf? Are they boxes of USB sticks?

I tried showing the image to ChatGPT, but I’m still mystified. Must be a prompt issue.

Don’t get what you mean at all. Any ref?

The spine of “Programming Windows” by Charles Petzold appears very faded compared to its usual color:

@donho ,
I’m going to have to take a picture of my ‘library’ before I clean it up. Mine are in a room with closed blinds, covered by other items and are not sun bleached like yours. I have 3 bookcases and a computer desk with shelves that are stacked all over. I have a path to the conputer cockpit. It was my home within my home about 26 years ago, when I used to be bleeding edge. Now it’s a museum of technnology that I need to get back into…but you’re right, those were our ChatGPT’s. :-)

Before I clean up, I’ll snap a pic of my “library”—three bookcases and a desk stacked with tech relics in a dim room, untouched by sunlight. It was my haven 26 years ago, my cockpit of cutting-edge gear. Now, it’s a tech museum I hope to revive. You’re right—those gadgets were our original ChatGPTs.
