I love the nostalgia, it is truly immersive, especially when you encounter blue screen in the most unexpected manner.

I get a Dell BIOS after the BSOD, and I'm running a Dell. Coincidence, or does it detect the vendor?

This just made me realize how great Tetris could be to build up muscle memory for vim keys: I recently arranged my directional key like that on a separate layer (just got an ergodox).
