Running in the nineties

On a whim, I decided to give a rewatch a show I sporadically watched on the TV when I was young, Dark Angel. It is not a transcendental show that will deeply alter your life, watch DS9 for that. And you might tell me that it's not a 90's show. Well, you should note that being released in 2000, it is according to the archaic calendar we use, it's indeed a 90's show, and that makes that unrelated reference of a title valid. If you weep at this absurdity, please know that we tried but we can't have nice things, as any passing interest in history can prove.

I've just watched a small retrospective on the HTC Advantage, running on Windows Mobile, precursor to Windows Phone, released just a year before the iPhone.

From 2023, it looks like a Phone/PDA hybrid. Watching the retrospective, the enthusiastic explanations of the presenter, along with the stylus-powered demonstration, it was hard not to get lost in the fervor. Nevertheless, I was genuinely impressed by everything that could be achieved on this device, including tasks at which modern smartphones greatly struggle.
