What would tech news have looked like 20 years ago had today’s blog tools existed back then? Engadget has the answer.

The ascii art headers are classic, and you gotta love bits like this: “Someday we’ll all have phones as portable as the 11-pound Mobira Talkman,” and: “One day in the future we’ll all work at 200MHz tower desktops with 9600 baud modems, but until then we’ll just have to keep dreaming.”

It sorta feels like thumbing through back issues of Popular Science magazine (which would be fun, come to think of it, and PopSci ought to vastly expand this area of their site). Great stuff.
