since i appreciate that 99.999% of the known universe has never heard of Dotto's Data Café - a tech/computing tv show produced/aired in the 90s and 2000s in canada, here is one mid-1990s episode digitized from an old vhs tape.
think Computer Chronicles on a $100 an episode budget.
One of the lovely prints by Melissa Barron that I brought home with me from INIT HELLO 2026. A portrait of an Apple IIe adorning my Apple IIe.
Original is acrylic on gessboard.

More beautiful classics came in from the deep, dark, long hidden recesses of the school district. Only missing two colours I think? They cleaned up quite nicely.
Fun product spotted on Mercari Japan: PowerBook 500-series "tattoos”. They're stickers shaped to go on your PowerBook trackpad. This was a novelty since these were the first PowerBooks to sport trackpads rather than trackballs! (and the first laptops at all to have a trackpad where you'd expect it today)
The years on the calendar stickers clearly date this product…
The local university has a surplus store and I finally got around to checking it out today. Turns out it's also an outlet for a local electronics recycling organization.
On my first visit I picked up this old Mac serial (printer/modem) cable still sealed in original packaging. Yeah it's nothing too special but I like that the label calls out ImageWriter II.
