I love that era of Unix workstation computing. As a teen I'd buy copies of UnixWorld at the bookstore mainly just to gawk at the screenshots and photos of the workstations.
Looking back, isn't it kind of crazy that a) such a magazine existed b) it was on the magazine rack at random bookstores in the middle of nowhere?
And when I finally got a 486/50 that could run Linux, I spent hours tweaking my desktop env to try to make it more workstation-y (OpenLook or Motif-ish), purely on aesthetic grounds not for practical purposes :-)
