This seems so amazing that I had to close it immediately, scared of how much time I would lose with it.

Same just because I'm at work, but I'll procrastinate on it at home later.

Clever and artful, with a little nostalgia thrown in.

1993 was the year I started my undergrad and would not see a "web browser" until the following year. It's nice to re-capture a little of the spirit of what computing was like back then.

Tip: Be sure to click on the virus and after what happens happens, fling the icons around. Moments of mindless fun.

Pretty brilliant site. Unfortunately it locked up Chrome tight after I ran the 3d program and tried to close it along with running Wolfenstein.

I was just doing that, when the girlfriend goes "oh I remember when the computer used to do that" - my response: "you had a virus then..." :D at least back then viruses had a bit of class to em

What about your ears? That startup sound caused some pretty intense flashbacks for me.
