I love this image, but what is Steam Punk? I am 60 years old and don't know these things. Quite honestly, these are images from my childhood. Thank you in advance!

Steampunk is the combination of the old and the new - or, simply using the old to illustrate and enhance the new. So, to make a computer desktop look steampunk using old-fashioned images to control certain aspects, combines the computer, being new technology with some selected appropriate visual aspects of the past. This idea extends from computer visual imagery to clothes and art. Have a look at my widgets here and you'll see steampunk computer imagery at its best: [link]
Then type "Kato, steampunk model" into Google images and see what it shows.

Yes, I saw it. It is wonderful. I like the idea and the style of it. Do you know how the Steampunk style started? People have told me some of my pieces look steampunk and I never knew what they meant. Forget the question. I will wikipedia it.
