Seriously, using the word "historical" to describe this thing defines

Because one wants to sit in one's nice expensive room full of good furniture
instead of in a room full of Staples crap of a vintage contemporary with
that of the computer?

One *might* consider putting one's computer in another room better
suited to the task. Or use my previous suggestion of keeping the
bloody thing out of sight when not in use. Or do as I do: use one's
nice expensive room full of good furniture of a vintage and style
compatible with that of the computer.

Or you could just assume that everything that doesn't look centuries
old must be Staples crap.
