That's a lot of shit to carry. From 1993 Issue #10 of Mondo 2000.

You forgot to turn on your voice changer.
A bit better-quality version, found via TinEye. :3
Doing the cyberlords work
May the gigabits be plentiful and lag-free this year! Amen!
Ahh, a voice changer right where it belongs: on the ankle.
This was cringe even in the '90s.
Speak for urself

Never leave hacker home without your torque wrench
A torque wrench and no soldering iron?

Gotta make sure those computer cases are tightened juuuuust right
30 years on, that guy still had all those gadgets dangling from his belt, but now he’s the crazy old guy who lives in the junkyard

I like to read old science fiction and check out the things the authors got wrong.
Maybe my favorite is the 'mini VHS recorders' from Neuromancer.
I wanted a Dick Tracy watch so badly. Tech just decided to skip all of that and put a screen on a watch. Boo.

This is a techno-goth.
This is me, as long as you replace the Powerbook with a Thinkpad T420.

Obligatory Johnny Mnemonic:

This image obtained with a 1990s micro camera?
Nah, scanned with that Logitech Portable Scanner.
I'm assuming the Scan Man 32 for Mac resulted in Game Boy Camera quality images.
EasyTouch maxed out at 400 DPI and the 256 was 256 shades of grayscale.
It doesn't say when the original ScanMan Color came out or how many colors it had but the Color 2000 didn't come out until '96 and had a 24 million color pallette.
So, yeah, sounds about right for the ScanMan 32.

So much Sony product!! 🫤
These days, all that dude now needs is a phone and probably a tablet. Maybe a laptop slung over his shoulder.
