Curious@TheBreadmonkey just with more panache Ben, as always
Phil Haigh@TheBreadmonkey that’s Sir Michael Philip Jagger to you, my lad!!
Furbland's Very Cool Mastodon™@TheBreadmonkey i'm pretty sure I have that laptop off to the side! that weird ball is a clip-on mouse
@TheBreadmonkey (a trackball mouse, that is. the left and right click buttons are on the *side*)
alex helvetica@TheBreadmonkey @GroupNebula563 Bowie being baller dual wielding laptops, with a PowerBook Duo complete with Duo Dock, and some random PC laptop with the weird clip on trackball!
@alexhelvetica @TheBreadmonkey the one I have, at least, is a Texas Instruments TravelMate 4000 of some sort (there were multiple: 4000M, 4000E, etc. with slightly different specs). they originally shipped with DOS and Windows 3.1, but my particular unit was upgraded to Windows 95 at some point in its life. also it has a passive matrix LCD because of course it fucking does why wouldn’t it
@alexhelvetica @TheBreadmonkey just checked, mine is a 4000E, complete with the best badge ever under the name (not my unit but mine has an identical badge). also I was today years old when I learned that they did also make 4000Es with active matrix screens. i guess the original owner of mine cheaped out :P

Antti Peltola ⁂Before anyone asks, that's a PowerBook Duo with a docking station.

@anttipeltola @TheBreadmonkey Any time this image makes the rounds, I immediately think, "Yeah, David Bowie seemed like he would've been a Powerbook Duo kinda guy." (not sure what the PC laptop—looks like a Compaq Contura 4/25c?—next to it was for.)
D. Griffin Jones@anttipeltola @TheBreadmonkey With an Extended Keyboard II and ADB Mouse II, two excellent peripherals
CharlieG@TheBreadmonkey PowerBook duo for the win.
MegatronicThronBanks@TheBreadmonkey Best ALT ever
@TheBreadmonkey I’ve probably still got my Apple Powerbook Duo (mine was a 230) up in the attic (but I never had the Duo Dock that this one has been inserted into, only the Micro Dock)

Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐@TheBreadmonkey Vintage PowerBook Duo. Nice.
Juho MäntysaloJust going to link to this to point that Bowie was no poser:
Greem (Graeme. Not Graham!)@TheBreadmonkey if you filled that monitor with water (per your Alt text) there would be a big bang and the water would be undrinkable.
@TheBreadmonkey Shush! Stop giving my secret away!

I'm 82% certain the computer Bowie is using is an Apple Macintosh, but I didn't know which model. Yes, it's somewhat heavy.

I remember SoundBlaster sound cards, Ben, and I still keep cans of soup in an old ViewSonic CRT monitor shell.
PS: Mad propz on the superb AltText that you provided us with this vintage photo of the immortal David Bowie.

Ben Cox@Guillotine_Jones @TheBreadmonkey The computer is a laptop Mac (PowerBook Duo) though, so no soundblaster or vga. The "rest" of it is the DuoDock.
Bl4ckst4r@TheBreadmonkey like a Blackstar one might think (:
"Musty Bits" McGee@TheBreadmonkey u kno he on AO3

@TheBreadmonkey @catsalad I miss duo docks
Eli the BeardedThat computer looks like a laptop in a docking station, where the dock is meant to look like a regular desktop computer.
I also note the other computer, a laptop with a clip on trackball
Alex, the Hearth Fire@TheBreadmonkey this is the most normal David Bowie ever looked, and I am confused and a little concerned
