From a 1991 SunExpert magazine article about “What’s to come” for network protocols. The article depicts a man traveling into the 2020’s, seemingly unaware of the chaos he’ll find.He’s going to pass @prahou traveling back in time to 1991 to get some mint condition Sun workstations.#SunMicrosystems #UNIX

It's summer, 1985.I get a call from my buddy to open this month’s issue of UNIX WORLD magazine to page 110.I see they are preparing to standardize the C programming language.I say, “This is a good thing" under my breath.I am still punk as fuck.

I found this ad for a six-degree-of-freedom 3D input device in the Summer 1989 issue of the SGI magazine "IRIS Universe".I remember seeing stuff like this around in the 90s, but it all seemed so inaccessible at the time. Flipping through these old professional magazines, you spot some interesting engineering and industrial design.@flexion, you should get one of these, restore it, and get it working on one of your systems.#SGI #UNIX

I love this design. This is a full page ad for #UNIX networking software in UNIX Review magazine October, 1984.Today we have ads where Google thinks it’s cute that Gemini wrote a child’s letter to their hero.No one would dare put something like this out today for fear they may stand out.They all want to conform to what's safe and known.#Design #UNIX
