Why is there a spider on my solitaire card? Where the fuck is my Minesweeper and Netscape Navigator?
Hell yeah!
Good old Minesweeper and Space Cadet 3D Pinball
Turning on the tower with your foot...yeah, that unlocks some memories, lol.
Now do you also remember shutting it down with your foot?
"It's now safe to turn off your computer"

Somehow I'm using the default wallpaper on both w10 and android since I'm older, I just don't care anymore while before it used to be very important lol
Yeah, I couldn't even tell you what my background is. I used to have a slideshow of them.
"it's now safe to turn off your computer"
That's how old I am
