Yes! I often draw from experiences during that time.

SGI made absolutely fantastic workstations, for example.

I was 3D gaming with full video and audio chatter in the mid to late 90's, viewing models in stereo, running powerful applications remotely over X, with the 3D GLX extensions.

Man so many good ideas in the Indigo Magic Desktop!

Package management that included the ability to pause on events such as disk full so a guy could remove other software, or add disk, whatever.

8 bit machines have relevance in embedded spaces.

And it is fun to wonder what would have happened had the Amiga gained traction.

It really was a beautiful time filled with all sorts of great tech people can draw inspiration from today.
