After having gone missing in my papers for 30 years, the original ad has been found!
The bottom half (shown here) features what we called the Computer "Toad" (actually a tree frog), and it still features prominently on my ancient ISP-provided tilde page. The photo was a mascot around the office for quite a while.
No idea what the ad was for (AT&T / NCR?), but ... enjoy!
The free walking tour on Dec. 7 includes the Pasig River Esplanade, Jones Bridge, Yuchengco Plaza, Calle Escolta, First United Building, Intramuros Riverside, and Plaza Roma. @pinoy

NOTE
1. The flood hazard data has invalid geometries/features. You can resolve this by fixing the geometries (takes a long time) or simply disabling the Invalid features filtering in QGIS processing settings.
2. Some areas have no flood hazard features. These are marked as NO DATA in the maps.
...
3. Generate centroids from the output of #2 (either using the Centroids algorithm or Geometry generators).
4. To speed up and automate the process, I created a model that runs steps 1-3 above.
5. Style the output of 3 using: marker = hexagon, size = depends on population, color = depends on hazard level (Var). Utilize data-defined overrides/Assistant.
PROCESS
1. Use the "Sort" algorithm to create an ordered version of the flood hazard layer such that the features with high hazard level (3) will always be the first feature that will be matched in #2 below.
2. Run a "Join attributes by Location" between the population hex grid layer and the sorted/ordered flood hazard layer (output of #1).

Population ⬡ Flood Hazard
- larger hexagon = more people in the area
- redder color = higher hazard level

@bitprophet I know, right!? #Fallout #NCR #NukaCola
I agree it's nice to have a reasonably accessible resource (e.g. fontawesome; material from google) that provides easy to use glyph icons as fonts.
For the longest time, I was steadfast in wanting to use a #standards based solution like
Unicode Misc Symbols.

In fact, since I last studied it with intent, there are so many reasonably useful unicode symbols and glyphs easily accessible via corresponding #NCR in most languages relevant to "web" or / mobile app UI's.
I like options. But, I like to have standardized modular code.
Just a wonderful page chronicling the restoration of a National Cash Register (NCR) PC4. Superb photos, by Todd Vernon.
Can confirm, it's burning out here -
