    I thought it was Scilly from the X-Files at first lol.

    Edit: Scully

      Same.

      That was probably the intention. X-Files was at its height of popularity around this time (assuming 1997 by the Mac model and OS 8).

        This image has been floating around Lemmy for the past week or so. One of them appears to have an original timestamp/watermark from like 1998.

        Is that really a Mac though? Looks like a pc running a Netscape browser and some AOL garbage.

          Can’t find a copy of the screen but it literally says “Apple 8” on the screen… NB Mac OS 8 came out July 1997.

          It’s definitely a Mac. I remember that case from middle school. Apple computers were huge in education in the 80s/90s. It was their staple cash cow back then before Jobs came back and they started chasing Starbucks-guzzling hipsters.
