Please don’t be shocked, but I’ve been reading old #UNIX Review magazines on Archive.org, as one does.

@occult I didn’t know Gould made computer systems as well.

Editor: quick! I need art to accompany the article on internationalization of #UNIX for our Dec 1985 issue!

To think all of this amazing art is buried in 40-year-old computer magazines.
This one is from the July 1988 issue of "VLSI Systems Design."
@occult all technology advertising should lean back hard into this level of quality imo

Computing in the year 2029 as depicted in UNIX WORLD magazine, 1985.
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.

Please don’t be shocked, but I’ve been reading old #UNIX Review magazines on Archive.org, as one does. I’ve been finding a number of interesting artifacts throughout. This June 1984 ad by Cadmus Computer Systems listed a #USENET address: !wivax!cadmus.
This is a UUCP bang path, for the kids who don’t know. The ! separates relay hops, it’s a literal routing instruction. Get to the backbone, reach wivax, forward to cadmus.
No DNS.
Machines screamed at each other to swap data.
