It's a good point. Everyone living in Australia knows what "NSW" means, and it's a website that's almost always only used by people living in the state. Except for a page on dark patterns :) Same blindspot as Amer

I see this in other social situations too (though social may be stretching it a little bit) e.g. in the gym, on the bike paths, and inside my apartment complex. I'm in my early 50s and people in their 20s and 30s aren't intereste

We had a lab of Apollos at our uni, in the "VLSI lab" (but used by everyone). We had one with a truly enormous (in depth) 17" or 19" colour monitor. I programmed some rudimentary 3d (flat shaded) on it, using some kind
