Ignoring the Obvious

I'm looking through the 1984 IPO prospectus for Symbolics systems and it has a lot of buzzwords and numbers but I can't stop looking at how ugly this photo makes things look.



The consoles are taking up more than half the space in the photograph, of that less than 1/4 of that is actual angles where you can see the face of the tube. The rest is every other conceivable angle of the console, because length, width and height these things are larger than most houses.

You could say the same thing about that dude‘s perm. It like doubles the volume of his head.

Wasn't Symbolics famous for many mistakes? The bad photography in the prospectus didn't seem to stop anyone from investing.
