maybe cathode ray tubes were the only thing between humanity and Internet Madness?

Remember back in like 2002 when everyone started doing rounded corners in web design? And then a year or two later it finally made it into CSS, and we just sort of had that as common web design for a couple of years? That's what the new macosx design is like.

Things may be bad, but are they poetry bad?

Another thing to note with the CD-only config is DEC was a *really* early adapter of CD-ROM. You could order a CD-ROM drive for your VAX in 1985. Related, if anyone has the DEC/Philips/LMSI drive for this please lemme know I have the controller <3

Modern curses: May all your DoorDash deliveries be lost.
