Urgh!

That "Amstrad" one is the most disturbing by far, although I don't get
the reference. In what way was Amstrad connected to sexual deviance?

So from left to right then:

Amstrad is a sexual deviant.
NeXT is a bling-wearing pimp.
SGi is a hip music teacher.
Sun is a sexually promiscuous exhibitionist.
RiSC is a riot policeman.
Dell is a suave guy in a grey suit.
PC is a dull guy in a grey suit.
Mac is a middle-class suburban casual with designer stubble.
Linux is a superhero convention attendee.
DEC is a dinosaur.
GNU is a Mexican pig farmer.
UNIX is a gangster.
Amiga is a sexually provocative cartoon skunk.
BeOS is a badly dressed cartoon mummy's boy.
Vista is a homosexual Berlin nightclub performer.

I get the Amiga one (Amy by Eric Schwartz), PC and Mac (obviously), DEC,
and GNU (yes I know it's RMS), but I really don't get the rest. Most of
them must be *very* obscure references, and the Dell one is just plain
wrong ... shouldn't that be a picture of a dodgy flea-market trader? As
for Vista; I'm sure it's been accused of being many things, but somehow
I don't think homosexual Berlin nightclub performer is one of them.

Personally I'd replace all those pictures with a dinosaur, except for
Mac, PC, Linux and GNU, which I'd represent with a picture of Mickey
Mouse, Adolf Hitler, Joe Q. Public, and Jesus Christ, respectively.
