A vintage Japanese advertisement for dB-SOFT featuring an NEC PC-9801RX personal computer. The ad showcases a monochrome CRT monitor displaying a business or presentation software interface, with a smaller secondary display showing a world map. A classic mechanical keyboard, a trackball mouse, and a globe are also visible on the desk. The vertical Japanese text translates to "For expressive creators—a word processor for you." The ad exudes a professional, high-tech aesthetic typical of early 1990s Japanese computing

Was going through old physical photos, weeding out all the old 'nameless landscape and mountain' shots, prints with people on them that I now have no recollection of.... etc, as one does at this time of year.

Found this interesting one - that's my desk at work back in '96. The IBM tower behind the desk was the TV station's web server. The hardware stack on top was the ISDN connection to our ISP. At that time, local ISP's didn't offer web hosting of the kind we wanted/needed.

If you want a giggle, check out the Wayback Machine snapshot of the site.

Heh, the system specs:
'Our webserver is an IBM PC Server 320 with 3 gigabytes of hard disk space, 156 megabytes of RAM, running on an Intel Pentium 90mhz processer (with the ability to upgrade to dual Pentiums).'

A retro office desk from 1996 with a brick-pattern wall in the background. The desk is crammed with CRT monitors, an IBM tower functioning as a web server, and an ISDN modem stack. Papers, files, and old office equipment complete the scene, capturing a tech-heavy, pre-dot-com-era workspace.

The holidays will soon be upon us, so over the next few days, we'll be checking out some awesome 80s and 90s tech from the Radio Shack Christmas catalogs, thanks to https://RadioShackCatalogs.com!

Lotus 1-2-3 was a groundbreaking spreadsheet software program released in 1983 by Lotus Development Corporation. It combined three key features—spreadsheet, database, and graphics—which revolutionized business computing during the 1980s. Dominating the market in the 1980s and early 1990s, it set the standard for productivity software until Microsoft Excel overtook it in popularity.

"How it all began"

I saw an ad for this CD set at a very low price in a computer magazine. I decided to give it a try, enticed by the low cost and this 'alternative solution to Windows', and in late 1996 I ordered this set.
When it arrived, I was fascinated (having never used a Unix or Unix-like system before) but a bit daunted by the lack of support for the main applications I knew. A few months later, though, I decided to give it another go and from that point, I never looked back. Whether it was Linux, one of the BSDs, or something similar (but Unix or Unix-like), I was not going back to systems like Windows.

My #ThrowbackThursday today is probably one of the most significant in my computing life.
