The big iron era. Green screens and JCL job cards.

Genera OS. The most exotic machine I ever touched.

ANSI art and 14.4k modems.

Sun SPARCstation / OpenLook (Early 90s)

Those rounded pushpins and distinctive scrollbars.

The purple-teal Indigo Magic desktop. The coolest workstation ever made.

Dark gray panels. Where the web was born.

Yellow tab bars. Ahead of its time.
