Saw this on Reddit just now. It's amazing how a picture can evoke emotion.

It's an incredibly effective picture. Where did you find it, /r/abandonedporn?

We need to save that terminal.

I second the motion of saving the terminal! Any volunteers?

It's a great image. A photograph may be all that can be salvaged by the look of the decrepit thing. I like how Gerry managed to avoid a reflection of the camera (and himself) in the terminal screen, possibly obfuscated by the impact on the glass.

That is a powerful picture, really like it.

@seebart: Seems that some ugly ass artisan closeup picture won this time, I could probably sculpt such a pile of crap myslelf. Actually it would look decent if I'd do it.
