A thread for collecting computer ephemera with a focus on marketing

I shall start the ball rolling with a website hosting the music that was distributed with Silicon Graphics Octane computers:

DigiBarn Songs: SGI Octane Songs

Features the memorable lyric (from the song Octane Swing) "Octane / We're gonna rock-tane"

Why am I only now seeing this thread. Anyway, here’s this:

Why am I only now seeing this thread.

I don't know, but I still love this.

Seems like an appropriate thread to link to this article about the death of optane memory

Some bit of this are more awkward than others but it's a truly surreal experience either way, to have an attempt at a software tutorial in the form of a sitcom (emphasis on attempt, this isn't much like the template of sitcoms because the characters aren't grounded in their characteristics or defined by their interpersonal relationships).

Meanwhile here's a 2-minute video of excerpts from the video that I feel obligated to bring to @ThornGhost's attention, because I swear this whole thing was brought to my attention with a VDL episode but I cannot for the *life* of me find it now

@muteKi that is so wild because I know we've talked about that in some sort of proximity to the podcast but I presumed it was in sort of a pre-show warm up chat since the full video is longer than our usual fare and we generally avoid clip selection videos.

Knowing us I wouldn't doubt it's been brought up on the podcast but I couldn't tell you where.

I'm glad I'm not imagining this, and also that it isn't actually the content of an episode lost to the ether.
