I think software boxes were derived from the size of the old IBM PC manuals. I just checked and they're the same exact height.

I don't have neither the money nor the patience to acquire and tinker with old tech nowadays, but damn I miss machines feeling like actual machines, like professional tools to accomplish something. The documentation looked insanely good, yeah, printed of paper, hard to store, killed some trees, but it felt nice having an actual manual, an actual book you can swift through at your leisure that explained everything that you needed to know, every quirk, every small feature all laid out to you, properly organized, indexed, following a easy to look up structure. Nowadays you get an online link to some React site that barely loads and it's impossible to follow, with links that go nowhere and menus that you can't find.
I miss when things were good.
