Yes of course - that is what I meant.
We need a state-of-the-art Edwardian computer to impress
Channel 5 viewers.

The computers case is huge, and made of polished mahogany.
The keyboard is an array of proper polished brass keys,
with mechanical levers for the operator to press firmly 
and make satisfying typewriter sounds.
The operator of course sits on a well padded,
deeply buttoned leather upholstered bench.

The operator, if he is of the systems admin class,
dresses in a paisley pattern silk smoking jacket.
His caffeine supplies (only the finest coffees)
are brought to him on a silver try by servants.

Ahhh... one can dream on a Sunday morning.
I'll just ring the bell for the servants to bring me
my kippers and kedgeree...
