the 90s (and, declining, the 00s) was the last time there were several competitive microarchitectures and you could buy a "workstation" computer that was in some way special and different from a normal computer

to be fair, workstations still exist. they are just much, much bigger versions of your bog standard pc.

I always wanted one of their "highlighter" photocopiers from the late 1980s: shaped like a thick highlighter, you drag it over a line of text in a book and a strip of thermal paper comes out with that text

in 1989 or 1990, visiting relatives in Minneapolis, I wandered into some spartan Sony showroom next to the furniture store my family was shopping at and had an amazing time gawking and managed to pilfer one of each of their catalogs

it's my sincere hope to find those catalogs online someday so I can see some of the insane poo poo Sony was doing then again, since after all virtually all of the actual products will have entirely disintegrated by now
