This reinterpretation of the song is really amazing https://youtu.be/bjWFNgKE4uw
Love it. virt also did a little tune called "here's your seven day forecast" that's also from that era and really nice, like a stereotypical weather channel tune.

#42“Object Packager”! I’d spend hours trying to figure out what you could do with a utility sporting such a cool name & icon. Did anyone ever use it for its mysterious but intended purpose?
It wrapped media objects into compatible OLE 1.0 objects for insertion into OLE containers (example: office documents, presentations etc). It was a component of OLE before later versions and before OLE became ActiveX, and learned to embed stuff by themselves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Linking_and_Embedding#O...

I couldn't get Media Player to start, I guess they don't have the sound card implemented / wired up. But they do have Visual Basic 1!

#45I had an Iomega Zip drive, too! So cool, but the higher capacities were too expensive and the parallel adapter didn't work everywhere. I forget if there were compatible discs, not made by Iomega, that were cheaper?

I did. It wasn't very cool after all. I know what you mean about the icon, too. And why wasn't it easier to get that kind of cool custom icon for one's favorite, and still current, MS-DOS apps at that time? Frustrating.

#50Thanks for sharing this! My sister and I used to love listening to this song on our Gateway 2000 when we were kids.
> listening to this song Song? It’s just music there’s no singing in it. Midi is an instrumental only declarative format.
I've sung or hummed along to canyon.mid a time or two. We're good. The meaning of the word 'song' has expanded in popular usage. I play the horn (french horn) and I smile an nod when someone calls a clarinet a horn.
