Lol. Watch the "Johnny Can't Read" video and you'll see a couple dozen of those ancient computer monitors on old-fashioned school desks (although that looks like a prop version rather than the real thing - I don't see a screen). No hard drives were in sight but you weren't supposed to look too closely, I guess. Plus, I bet a lot of people in 1982 were ignorant of what a hard drive even looked like because so few had computers (am I right, folks who know firsthand?). I knew what one looked like in 1984 only because we had one in the school, and I was selected to be one of six people in the whole elementary school who got to use it as part of an experiment as to its educational value. I was so thrilled! Gosh, that was a long time ago. Anyway, the closest you get is Johnny putting what looks like a VHS tape in a slot underneath his monitor (only VCRs didn't look like that back then so that's pretty bizarre - did the director think that was what a floppy disk looked like?). Johnny also manages to get some text written without a keyboard, lol. I wonder if that photo was shot on the set and / or designed to promote the single?

ETA: Question partially answered, my friends. Here's a photo of the single. However, he's wearing a Space Invaders T-shirt in that one. I'm old enough to remember that game, and Atari. Speaking of Atari, some students in the video are playing PacMac without a joystick. I mean come freaking on! Ataris didn't look like that either, and kids of high school age surely knew that, even in 1982. Obviously the people making that video were too old to be interested in PacMan! When my family got one in 1984, my sisters and I were frenzied with excitement.

Maybe they made Don do a few takes wearing a Christmas sweater for the holidays, or for the sake of people who didn't know what Space Invaders was, lol.

When my family got our first computer in the late 80s, the monitor didn't look much different! Thank goodness for the evolution of technology and flat screens.
