Good reading. Seeing emails with 1990 as the date on them is amazing, and I love how they discuss things like banning discussing certain topics at work. I thought that was a creation of the 2020s, but nope... ever since people have been working together, some manager has been prescribing what they should and should not discuss. I also see that it was as ineffective then as it is now.
I used to work at a company that ran all their proprietary applications on x86 Solaris 10 and used OpenWindows (same greenish color scheme) all the way up to 2014 or so. I would have loved to have had that pizza app! :)
I still have a fondness for the simplicity of OpenWindows and how well it it handled virtual desktops. It was really cool to use on quad monitor setups.
