[vcf-midatlantic] 1980's bedroom setup

If you look at this Radio Shack catalog page (http://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/html/catalogs_extra/1985_rsc-14/h061.html)) I had the desk/hutch/printer setup for a long time, but then I changed to the "computer workcenter" in this 1987 Radio Shack catalog (http://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/html/catalogs_extra/1987_rsc-17/h049.html). I can't exactly remember why I changed, but I had my Mac on it for years, probably to raise it higher to make it easier to see. The other desk got repurposed in another room upon which I had a Compaq DeskPro/386 (which I still have, as with my original Mac 512k).

I had a decent sized room -- 12' x 12' with wood paneling, two twin beds and a shag-like carpet. I remember that for posters, I mostly had cars (Ferrari, Lambo) and a pinup or two. Dad didn't like me pasting things on the "pecky cypress" wood paneling. The ceiling was 12" square Armstrong acoustic tiles with fluorescent lighting. I wish I had a picture of it. Lots of browns in that room...

    For the 80s bedroom do you have one of those ubiquitous "computer desks" 
    that were everywhere? With the book space or whatever across the top of 
    the back hutch, and the place for the disk drives to the side of the 
    monitor?
