These article illustrations are truly something.

UNIX Review, April 1985.

#UNIX #unix_surrealism

Surrealist painting in a Magritte-inspired style showing a man in a black suit and bowler hat seen from behind, sitting at a vintage desktop computer at the entrance to a large green hedge maze. An identical computer floats in the sky above the maze against rolling green hills and scattered clouds, suggesting the mystery or bewilderment of navigating early computing.

When someone asks me what the #Fediverse, #Mastodon or #ActivityPub is I'll use this illustration from UNIX Review, April 1985.

#UNIX

Illustration showing multiple beige desktop computers floating among clouds in an open sky, connected to each other by thin golden lines forming a network, with one large computer in the foreground emitting a burst of colorful rainbow light rays from its screen.
