  • When: Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment (scene 017 / scene 121 headers)
  • What: The state of the art, given twice as a near-identical era-defining catalog: 932/1864 R.I.S.C. power-TPs w/ or w/o console, Pink2, post-Primestar D.S.S. dissemination, menus and icons, pixel-free Internet Fax, Dissemination-Grids ("post-Web" in 121), "screens so high-def you might as well be there," cost-effective videophonic conferencing (all that survives event 6's dead fad), internal Froxx CD-ROM, electronic couture, Yushityu nanoprocessors ("ceramic," 121), laser chromotography ("chromatography," 121), Virtual-capable media-cards, fiber-optic pulse, digital encoding, killer apps — trailed in the same breath by the era's new somatic complaints. The two rosters differ in small ways, as printed (see Dating notes). The Subsidized calendar itself carries the cartridge hardware as sponsor-brand: the Year of the Yushityu 2007 Mimetic-Resolution-Cartridge-View-Motherboard-Easy-To-Install-Upgrade For Infernatron/InterLace TP Systems For Home, Office, Or Mobile (the "(sic)" is the text's own, scene 059) — the mimetic-resolution cartridge-view motherboard of event 5, become a year's name.
