They have such a cozy feel, reminds me of simpler times.
It would be cool if there were a CSS framework where you could make webpages like that.

#4Windows 10 warns that burn.exe contains Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml. I'm sure it's fine but Windows doesn't let it run.
The demos that work are stunning and inspiring.

#5All these feels nostalgic but also somehow productive/not disturbing.

#7Still don’t quite get the DOS nostalgia. Individual games were good, but the whole ecosystem was finicky and crash-prone by the early- to mid-90s, not to mention deeply ugly (ALL CAPS console, lousy inconsistent GUIs, unnaturally short filenames, etc.). My friends and I couldn’t wait to run Unix, NeXTSTEP, hell even classic MacOS. We only ran DOS/Windows because that’s all we had. Though don’t get me wrong, we still had tons of fun and learned a lot.

I have fond memories of SETEDIT: http://setedit.sourceforge.net/
It was kind of a complete floating windows GUI in a TUI: http://setedit.sourceforge.net/se1.gif

The transition from ANSI graphics to the ugliness of Windows 3.1 or even Desqview was pretty rough. I spent a ton of time in terminal emulators and BBS programs that I found much more intuitive and "pretty". Their graphical counterparts were hideous by comparison. I think I still carry some of that bias with me.
I did have to do a quick check to see if this library required me to configure expanded memory, however.
