Yeah there were comics or some 180 pages catalogue, or even a "porny mag" (no sex, some titties or the one big flash) in the bunch of stuff.
People were all alone at almost all times so people did a bit of anything whenever they felt like it.
It was a crazy time compared to now in that manner, like you'd walk home and no one would worry if you weren't like one or two hours late. Meeting up? Other is 1h late? Yeah there were probably some problem (it happened to all of us), or they decided to not come...
So I had my café where I went, you met those who made it :-)
Ha ha went off the rails there, cheers & good night from the EU!
My instance is working well on 0.19.2 finally with the caveat that it (still) need a daily reboot (docker).
So yes I think it's wise to wait a bit more.
