ITT post your desktops

Why are they called desktops if most computers are positioned under said desks now rather then on?
Cause originally they WERE on the desk with the screen right on top of that wise guy
Or even earlier they were either in the keyboard or in the screen (which sits ON the desk)

In computing, the desktop metaphor is an interface metaphor which is a set of unifying concepts used by graphical user interfaces to help users interact more easily with the computer.<a href="Desktop metaphor - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_metaphor#cite_note-autogenerated1-1)"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a> The desktop metaphor treats the computer monitor as if it is the top of the user's desk, upon which objects such as documents and folders of documents can be placed. A document can be opened into a window, which represents a paper copy of the document placed on the desktop. Small applications called desk accessories are also available, such as a desk calculator or notepad, etc.
