The things you find on the internet never cease to amaze me. Found this old photo on the WaybackMachine for a huge Ace store known as the Ace Trading Post. Albeit a bit blurry, I found this photo which practically showcases all the 90s - Early 2000s Hoovers with their respective boxes. All the way from the Soft & Light right up to the (then newly introduced) WindTunnel. Just thought it was interesting.

It's small because that's how big embedded JPEGs were back then, mostly everyone had dial-up and there was no DSL yet so everything had to be with the least content on the page as possible so it loads fast.

Ah ok, that makes sense. Never was aware it was done for faster loading.

Yup. I'm sure the original pic was likely 600 or 700px square but it was shrunk down for web use. Newspaper archive that took that photo might have the original photo in full resolution.
