> HTML emails are mainly used for marketing - that is, emails you probably don't want to see in the first place. The few advantages they offer for end-users, such as links, inline images, and bold or italic text, aren't worth the trade-off.

Introducing the Sony NEWS 3250 Unix Laptop, Sony advertisement 1991.

Apparently, Sony also produced RISC laptops, based in its NeWS range of MIPS-powered Unix workstations. Shipped in 1991, the NEWS 3250 was apparently the second RISC portable released in the early 1990s.

Based on a MIPS R3000 @ 20 MHz, the NEWS 3250 ran Unix SVR4, on a monochrome LCD with "increditle 1120 × 780 resolution".

Giving Tahoe titlebars a background really accentuates how chunky they are.

"One word derived from Yiddish, glitch, was also introduced in radio, and found its way to the world of electrical engineering and, from there, to the hallowed halls of 1960s NASA, and thence, everywhere.

Glitch is derived from glitsh, Yiddish for slippery place, and from glitshn, meaning to slide, or glide. Glitch was in use in the 1940s by radio announcers to indicate an on-air mistake. By the 1950s, the term had migrated to television, where engineers used glitch to refer to technical problems."
