@noiob Thanks! I really like it, reminds me of sneaking onto my dad's Win97 laptop to play flash games from a cereal box

@noracodes did your dad run unreleased prototype sofware from microsoft? :P

@noiob oh i guess that wasn't a thing. Win 98? I was like 6

@noracodes my first ever own computer was an old WinME box :3 I was older than 6 but also XP was already out at the time. I even could've installed it if I'd known (and upgraded the ram from 128 megs)
