At a time when computers were transitioning from 4:3 to 16:9 screens
And what a tragic mistake that was.
The idea is that you can boost a new product by tying it to an established brand. But it can also cause confusion and devalue the brand. You could say, for example, the PlayStation Portable is that done right, and the Xperia Play (aka "PlayStation Phone") is that done wrong.

The trains in San Francisco's Muni Metro light railway, for example, won't start up in the morning until someone sticks a floppy disk into the computer that loads DOS software on the railway's Automatic Train Control System (ATCS).

Remember the old adage: "We're losing money on every sale, but we'll make it up in volume."
Nostalgia aside, there was really something better about the user interfaces of old systems like Mac OS 8 and Windows 95. They managed to be light without being too bright, and it was easy to tell what was clickable. Today things are too minimalistic, flat, translucent, low-contrast -- causing worse visual readability.
The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning, and does not stop until you get to work.
