   For your breakfast brainfluff, here's a reminder that Star Trek's incredibly cool and famous LCARS is surprisingly similar to the PDP10. Both came out in 1966 and evolved steadily until the 80s, I assume symbiotically. Computer nerds tend to be Trekkies and visa-versa.

   The entire idea seems deeply rooted in late-sixties aesthetic, just before the psychedelic colors of the 70s. I don't know if it's possible for people to recreate the unique flair now, sixty years after the fact.
