That's a CARTRIDGE.

Wait, I just noticed something.

I'm too young to have used a TRS-80, so maybe this was the norm, but it looks to me like the disk is actually out of the drive. Robb, can you shed any light on this?

And the super mini joysticks make it look like they are having tea instead of playing a video game.

I think it's the same face, mirrored and some hair added.

If the kid on the right smoked about a billion cigarettes, to make his face all damaged and droopy, he'd look just like John Kerry.

I'm not sure what kind of computer this is; maybe a TRS-80 Color? At any rate, these kids are creeping me the fuck out. Their faces look really fucked up from this angle.

EDIT: After some research I have determined that it is indeed a TRS-80 Color Computer.
