I agree it’s pretty inappropriate but in fairness to the author, they’ve gone for a retro vibe and content like that was, unfortunately, pretty common back then. It was a different era in many ways, not just in term of technology.

I stumbled across this image on eBay a few days ago:

I can't believe how blatant it used to be. At the time it just seemed 'normal'.

It gives me everytime the laughs when i see how american socialized "woke" people want to force everyone to act in their mindset... i would just say: Life with it or go away :-D

I suspect their web server logs have just seen a small but noticeable peak in requests for the user guide...
