When I was a young teen my friend moved into a home that was owned by a retired sys admin. The guy had token ring ran through his house (it was 1994) and left an old AT&T PC6300 in the boiler room.

We plugged it in, booted it up, and poked around the hard disk. We found a directory with some files in it, one of which was named finger.com or exe. Upon running it a rather well drawn nude woman (line art) was rendered to screen in a revealing position. Then, a series of "frames" were rendered showing the woman fingering herself.

It was beyond crude and incredibly slow to draw each frame, something like 5 seconds each. the previous frames were not erased so there were numerous arms over lapping the original frame. I dont think we even watched the whole thing as it was taking minutes to render and we were worried his parents would see. At that point gif porn was already a thing and we were trading in school on 3.5's.

(I was later given the 6300 which I took apart as I didn't think it was worth anything back then...)
