Heck, I devoured the Illuminatus and Schrodinger's Cat trilogies before anybody outside of DARPA et al even knew there was an Internet, but it was good to see it thriving online. Still got my copy of the Principia around somewhere and I've hung on the the Sacred Chao I discovered, somewhere.
Ray traced rendition of the Sacred Chao of Discordianism, taking the form of a Yin Yang symbol with a pentagram in one lobe and the golden apple of discord, inscribed with the Greek word "Kallisti" (For the prettiest one), in the other.

School had a Sharp MZ-80, this was the year before I left, before the BBC got together with Acorn to start making the BBC Model A/B to dole out to schools. Similar "we haven't worked out what a keyboard is supposed to look like yet", but here's a built in tape deck, vibe to the Commodore.

As a curiousity, Terry Farrel in early concept "new" Trill makeup before they decided the lumps didn't work.
Actress Terry Farrel as the character Jadzia Dax in Star Trek Deep Space 9, wearing an early concept of makeup for the Trill species which instead of exhibiting the spots used in the series consists of a lighter variation of the forehead ridges used for Trill in The Next Generation.

My first festival. Oxford New Age Fayre, 1986. The added scrawl noting the location as Port Meadow was due to the organisers having had to relocate from the Polytechnic after it had obviously grown too large. Madly, I ended up at Kingston Poly a few years later with one of those same organisers.
