Re: Stract: Open Source Search Engine With Its Own Crawler and "Optics"

Re: UNIX story in Junichi Masuda manga

Very interesting! I wonder which type of unix machine they were using. The IPSJ computer museum has a page on Unix machines in japan in the 1980s to early 2000s (https://museum.ipsj.or.jp/en/computer/unix/history.html). Your resource inspired me to find the answer (https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/...
