apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Insane. When I was 15 we had one computer in our house. With dial-up.

And of course when I was 15 the cool thing was a digital clock with big flippy numbers.

I hope this kid had a job to pay for this stuff.

This kid appears to have more disposable income than I do as a middle-aged adult.

Hi im the owner of this desk. You can take a look at more pictures of my desk here:

I simply have a Paper round earning £16 a week and then i have just saved over the years and my collection of gadgets has gradually increased in size.
I have just gone 15, as of 12th of Feb. and got the Mx revolution out of my birthday money, so as you can imagine, i dont get alot for my birthdays so i cant blame my collection on the birthdays.
Hope you like!

Lew, this is great work, both in terms of saving for all of your gear and in your excellent attention to design and space management. I'm 40 years old and my home work area doesn't look that good, so you've inspired me to do something about mine!

Man I miss the days when I had income and no bills.

I love the picture of the car in the background. Where did you get it.

When I was 15, the Internet didn't exist, and you still had to boot up your computer with one of those big floppy DOS disks in it. Heh.

But my parents did buy us computers, and I'm glad they did, because it became the basis of my current profession. If I had a kid and the money to do it, I'd buy them a really nice computer to work on.

So extra points to this kid for having a job and buying his own equipment!

Hey thanks everyone.
Mommyoftwins... The picture is handpainted for me in Cuba when i went a few weeks ago.
Ive got a few more but are waiting to be put up when ive renovated my room.
Thanks for your comments i really appreciate it and please, Spread the word!

Nice job, and congrats on putting it together so well. I say no more jealous-grownup comments on this.

Another jealous grownup who would love to have this for herself. Nice going LewSpeight!

Hi LewSpeight! :) I'm very impressed with both your desk set-up and your hard work. Best of luck with your future endeavors!

I see what confused everyone... he actually saved the money to buy this stuff instead of sticking it on a credit card and whining and crying about the interest rates, then holding his hand out for bailout/stimulus money! lol Novel idea, eh? Lew, you seem like a cool kid. Keep up the good work!

Fist bumps to geeky artists everywhere!

I want to hate you, but I think it's pretty sweet (and responsible on your part).

Good job!

nice setup! you have an impressive saving ability :-)

I had an Atari 800 computer when I was 15. No internet, 64k of RAM, and 5 1/4" floppies. Those were the days...
