I can recognize all of those, but with some difficulty due to the text
on the left panel obscuring a third of each photo. Then, of course, the
models or brands displayed may be different from those I used, which
delays the recognition a few seconds more. Then, some of the photos are
not fortunate, like the VHS tape with only a flat dimension seen.
