Okay, here are my additions:
Outside of the 'ENIAC building', there is a guy using a PC-like machine.
Those, of course, did not exist in 1945.
And the girl running to the building: her skirt is drawn way too short for
the period, and she looks like she is either writhing in pain or playing
left-handed air guitar. Air guitar did not exist in 1945. Also, it looks
like she is running *very* fast. Doesn't she know she's going to be hurt
when she runs into the building?
Why is the 3.5" floppy consoling the 5.25" floppy? Why is the 5.25" floppy
shaky? And I thought that floppies were floppy because of the media inside,
not the outer shell. After all, they are floppy _disks_, not floppy squares.
