This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

This was ?90s SF.  I think a lot of screen types are available.
I do picture the Sacred Windows as big old CRTs, though.  I think largely because the very bulk of them would be impressive.  And come to think of it, we know they are pretty heavy, even though they can be moved.
