Does anyone feel a little scammed! Cmon, SUPEROBAMAMAN doesn't have a computer running Google Earth yet? - Steve Rubel

He's been in the office for less than 24 hours . . . no one on the first day of the job has a desk that looks like it's theirs. 8-) - LJF Wolffe

You are all missing it: His ENTIRE desktop IS the computer. He's calling in his prefs for wallpaper and icons. - Morgan Haley

I don't think he has a cellphone. I know they said he might be able to keep his black berry. But, I never saw anything saying that he is able to keep it. - Mathew™ one of a kind

It's built into the surface of the desk and blends when he isn't actively using it or defaults to wood when the phone rings. - Martha

I don't think that desk gets a computer. There is a private office off the main room. But really, what do we think he does all day, type bills in Word and surf Wikipedia? He is constantly moving and shaking. Information is looked up for him and placed on his desk at his request. I'll be suprised to see a computer on that desk. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

IT is probably late in setting it up. Typical! - Jim Goldstein

I did hear yesterday that the Press Secratery was having problems getting logged on to the computer. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

I always loved that desk...very fancy rugged. - Justin Oberman

This picture is what we've waited for for more than a year and all you have to say is "where's the 'puter?"Jesus Christ. - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny

You probably wouldn't be satisfied until the Oval Office was the first beta version of a Holodeck running on Linux-based software. - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny

But...you're right. I noticed that this morning. No laptop, and a 1995 phone setup. WTF? - Jim Mitchem

His first day on the job and you expected him to be on the social networks? :) - Morton Fox

@Chris Thanks, I hadn't seen that news. - Mathew™ one of a kind

Hey, he just moved in. It's not like he brought his own in. Besides, what if there is an enormous workstation set up in that little room where Monica and Bill did the dress-staining? - Phil Boiarski

I imagine he'll just bring his Mac over. http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Steve Garfield from twhirl

Dude. Obama so doesn't need a computer. I'm sure he's got some neural interface or something we just can't see that sends Twitter straight into his optic nerve, ya know? - Ken Sheppardson

It's in the desk? It probably talks too, like the MCP from Tron...uh oh. - Rob Haas

Hey Steve, did u think of the title to this share? - Zee.

Okay, so when the President rings the IT Help Desk for support, who answers, and where are they based, and has it been outsourced overseas? :) - Chris Eldridge

@Zee yes. PR training! I got you here, right? :-) - Steve Rubel

they probably are installing Windows 7 on it as we speak.....! Until then Blackberry only, I guess. - Joe Buhler

Deleted a comment for profanity. - Steve Rubel

ffs steve! ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

so he gets windows mobile for official use, and a berry for personal? Since when was any windows OS secure?? - Ian May

can't remember where but I read he was going to be the first US president to use a laptop in the oval office. - ursi

The phone setup is pretty impressive (well it was once). It's a special phone with all types of encryption devices built-in. To buy one you have to undergo a full background check & a bunch of other security checks. - Steven Cains

He just shifted into the office. Give him some time to get d lappie! - Jason

You just know that Steve Jobs is hard at work on a custom job for Obama. - Steven Perez

Not so sure about that, Steven. Not a huge number of macs in governmental offices. - Mr. Gunn

it's a giant, wood panel Surface device - ian kennedy

+1 ian kennedy! LOL - Susan Beebe

You know how it goes, IT wasn't notified. It will take a couple of weeks for them to get one ready. I'm wondering where that RED phone sits .. - Tom Parish

I think his specially tailored blackberry is all the computer he needs. - imabonehead

LOL Steve :) Great title, seriously... :) - Zee.

Zee, thanks. I gotta blog on this subject. It's a skill we all need in this day and age (especially if you want to influence) - Steve Rubel

I think I remember that the president has another office attached to the oval office where a computer and messier paperwork sits. I think there has been mention of this re: Clinton and bush's use of email. - Scott Gatz

I reckon there's a den with beanbags, a beer fridge, snacks, chilled music, and a Mac just off the Oval Office. - John Samuelson
