I saw him perform this in the mid 90s. Very fun.

An email of all html is an unwanted email 99% of the time. Occasionally, I save it, and open in lynx. (When a web site emails a security code.)
Attachments are more of a hassle, because I frequently need those. Save to a temp file, "munpack file", examine extracted files.
In 1990 I was running a very tiny Unix clone at home (Coherent on a 286 PC w/ 1 meg ram) and... I don't remember if I couldn't get a standard reader to compile on that or what the problem was, but anyways - I wrote an email/usenet reader for my own use.
33 years later, I'm still using it to read my email every day.
Also, I think I've had my pasta strainer since the 90s.
Late 90s Macedonian flick "Goodbye, 20th Century".

Some old ones from my grandparents / great grandparents. Mostly from the 20s & 30s, but a few photos go back to the 1890s.
I downloaded a copy of Come and See via the internet, so I guess that counts?
There's a sci-fi novel from the 50s where a dude is severely injured, so his robot freezes him until they can get back to proper medical facilities. But the robot is also heavily damaged, so it steals a bunch of "parts" (mostly limbs) from the frozen body to make itself functional enough to make the trip... (Stefan Wul - Rayons pour Sidar)
The Suns (E4000s) want a 12A circuit. The SGI wants 2 x 16A + 14A for the disk arrays. (Not that either draws nearly that much, of course.)
In 2009 I bought a lot of 10 late 90s Sun servers (1997 machines upgraded a few years later with better CPUs) for $300. Original list price about $2.5 million. After fixing a few problems and swapping parts to max out half the machines, I kept a few as my compute servers, and traded the rest for SGIs. An Onyx for the museum, and a small (one 6' rack) Origin-2000 for myself.
Jellyfish. A bit... enh?
I try to make a list of the best things I read at the end of each year. This was what I came up with last january.

Been on a Fritz Lang binge over the past few weeks: Spiders, Spies, Metropolis, Woman in The Moon, Testament of Dr Mabuse. I've seen the original Dr Mabuse too many times to feel like a rewatch right now. M is next, and I wasn't quite in the mood for that this weekend.
Taking a break with the 6th Terminator flick ("Dark Fate").
