Welcome to this week’s caption contest! (But even if it’s no longer “this week”, you can still leave comments.) This week’s photo features a boy sitting at a kitchen table, with his computer setup on it. The computer looks somewhat old / antique. He also has some food with him — pizza and milk — which happen to go well with computing (although many prefer an energy drink). He’s also excited about something.
As usual, there is no context provided for this picture, so you can make it up. You can make any type of joke you want — about computers, technology, homework, nerds, food, or create a story to setup your joke. You can do whatever you want, as long as you keep it clean and funny. That said, let’s get to the humor!

“Whoa! This computer will compute the Fibonacci Sequence to 5011 significant digits!”
“On that note, I wonder how far it will calculate pi… and I wonder if computers will ever be able to create a pie — not a chart but an edible dessert. I’d be nice to my computer if it ever started baking chocolate pies for me…”
Beppo
Isn’t it kinda ironic that he has crumpled paper around his computer?
Beppo
“Whoa! There’s actual graphics on this BBS!”

Even as old as this computer is, it’s still high-tech compared to what the Important Evil Genius uses! I wouldn’t be surprised if he still carries a protractor in his pocket protector…
Mr. Destructo
“Joshua” worked! Sweet, now onto Global Thermonuclear War!

“I can download at 1200 baud — don’t be jealous!”

At last! After 3 hours of reading the manual and not making any sense of it, Jimmy figures out how to make the text in his Wordstar 1.0 document go bold!

I hacked into Microsoft, and all I got was this lousy source code.

I don’t recall installing this “General Protection Fault” screen saver…

I’m not a nerd — I’m “socially challenged”.

What’s a FAQ? Boy, I wish someone would put out a list of answers for common questions such as this…
Thomas Wayne
AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! …Tension breaker, had to be done.

My software never has bugs. It just develops undocumented features.
Thomas Wayne
There’s always one more bu6…

“What in the world is this error?”
A)bort, R)etry or S)elf-destruct?
Mr. Destructo
This error may be more severe than I thought! Look at the next one:
Error #0001: COSMOS.CFG Corrupt. Reboot Universe (Y/N):
