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).'https://web.archive.org/web/19961230143005/http://www.itv.ca/

Dominating the market in the 1980s and early 1990s, it set the standard for productivity software until Microsoft Excel overtook it in popularity.
